'Catholic' simply means a member of the Universal Body of Christ.

"Universal; including all Christians;"

The Clarendon dictionary. By William Hand Browne, Samuel Stehman Haldeman. Published 1894 (A more expansive definition of the word is provided just before my signature line)

ROMAN Catholic is the religion that generally speaking, when it comes to religious manners . . . don't question US, just follow and do as told. . . otherwise we will kick you out.

About 500 years ago . . .a humble little Roman Catholic named Martin Luther had a few things he wanted to discuss with the 'Church'. They branded him a heretic and chased him all over Europe wanting desperately to KILL HIM and his movement.

I encourage all to be Bereans as stated above. Peace to all.
