Where catholics the first christians?

Answer 1

If you take Christians to be identified immediately following the congregation at Antioch, those who were originally Jews considered themselves still to be Jews, although of a messianic sect, while those who were initially gentiles considered themselves something different.

Ultimately, a Catholic identity emerged around the time the Gospels were written. We can look to the Church fathers (Chrysostom, Polycarp, Justin Martyr, etc) to tell us that early Christian practices in the first three centuries were heavily Catholic - Real Presence in the Eucharist, Triune nature of God, veneration of Mary and the saints, an organized hierarchy of priests (though priests did marry early on), etc.

I do hope this is not another attempt to slander and discord as was your last question. If you are sincerely interested in early Church history, I've included some texts. If you're not interested, please stop asking and causing trouble. Remember our Lord's warning to those who lead away from the Faith. ISBN numbers are given as well.

Answer 2

It depends who you ask. If you ask the catholics they will claim they are the first. If you ask the Protestants the will point to the book of acts and say no.

Answer 3

No the first followers of Jesus were Jewish.
