  • The history of the Catholic Church goes back thousands of years. Though much of its early days are unverifiable, tradition states that the prophet Jesus selected his disciple John as his successor, and that John was the first Pope of the Catholic Church. Originally practiced in secret by outcasts and the downtrodden, the group would gain mainstream acceptance and would go on to become the single most powerful Christian church in the world.

  • The history of the Catholic Church goes back thousands of years. Though much of its early days are unverifiable, tradition states that the prophet Jesus selected his disciple John as his successor, and that John was the first Pope of the Catholic Church. Originally practiced in secret by outcasts and the downtrodden, the group would gain mainstream acceptance and would go on to become the single most powerful Christian church in the world. Catholicism came to the Americas in the earliest days of European colonization, as Spanish, Portuguese and French explorers and conquistadors often doubled as missionaries. In the United States specifically, the Maryland colony was established to be a home for Catholics. At the time, Catholics comprised slightly over 1% of the total American population. Thanks to waves of immigrants from Catholic countries in Central and South America and Ireland, Catholics comprised almost 25% of the total population by the early 21st century. The presence of the Catholic Church was particularly strong in New England and the mid-Atlantic states, with an overwhelming majority of residents self-described Catholics In 2077, the Great War devastated the world. After the initial carnage, as people began to attempt to reestablish their lives, the largest question among most survivors' minds was simply: why? Most survivors- including many members of the Catholic Church- abandoned their religion in the wake of the nuclear apocalypse. Those that clung to their religion did so with fanatical fervor, believing themselves to be living through the end of days.
