The word Catholic is derived from the Greek adjective ?a??????? (katholikos), meaning "universal".[1] In the context of Christian ecclesiology, it has a rich history and several usages. For some, the term "Catholic Church" refers to the church in full communion with the Bishop of Rome, made up of the Latin Rite and the 22 Eastern Catholic Churches — this is the common usage in most countries. Protestants sometimes use the term "Catholic Church" to refer to all believers in Jesus Christ across the world and the ages, regardless of "denominational" affiliation. The Eastern Orthodox, Anglicans, Lutherans and some Methodists believe that their churches are catholic in the sense that they are in continuity with the original universal church founded by the Apostles. Roman Catholics believe their church to be the only original and universal church. In "Catholic Christendom" (including the Anglican Communion), bishops are considered the highest order of ministers within the Christian religion, as shepherds of unity in communion with the whole church and one another.[2] Catholicity is considered one of Four Marks of the Church, the others being unity, sanctity, and apostolicity.[3] according to the Nicene Creed of 381 "I believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church."

A letter written by Ignatius to Christians in Smyrna[4] around 106 is the earliest surviving witness to the use of the term Catholic Church (Letter to the Smyrnaeans, 8). By Catholic Church Ignatius designated the universal church in communion with the Bishop of Rome (the Pope). Ignatius considered that certain heretics of his time, who disavowed that Jesus was a material being who actually suffered and died, saying instead that "he only seemed to suffer" (Smyrnaeans, 2), were not really Christians.[5] The term is also used in the Martyrdom of Polycarp in 155 and in the Muratorian fragment, about 177.

The term catholic Christians entered Roman Imperial law when Theodosius I, Emperor from 379 to 395, reserved that name for adherents of "that religion which was delivered to the Romans by the divine Apostle Peter, as it has been preserved by faithful tradition and which is now professed by the Pontiff (Pope) Damasus and by Peter, Bishop of Alexandria ...as for the others, since in our judgement they are foolish madmen, we decree that they shall be branded with the ignominious name of heretics, and shall not presume to give their conventicles the name of churches." This law of 27 February 380 was included in Book 16 of the Codex Theodosianus.[7] It established catholic Christianity as the official religion of the Roman Empire.

The use of the term Catholic to distinguish the "true" church from heretical groups is found also in Augustine who wrote

1. Catholic employers balk at mandate to cover prescription contraceptives
November 20, 2009

A state law that soon will require commercially available health insurance plans to cover prescription contraceptives has several religious employers scrambling to change their coverage for moral reasons. St. Mary's Hospital in Madison and the Madison Catholic Diocese are among employers who say they will switch from commercial health plans to being self-insured so their premiums do not help fund an insurance benefit they oppose on religious grounds. Self-insured policies are exempt from the mandate. "It looks like this will probably end up costing us (more money), but it is... (read more)

6. St. Patrick: Patron Saint of Ireland
November 11, 2009

Saint Patrick (390 BC – 461 BC) was a Roman-British who is famously known as one of Ireland’s patron saints. He was born in Banna Venta Berniae which is at present known as Cumbria. His father was a deacon named Calpornius and his grandfather, Potitus, was a priest.

15. One Nation Under God: Poland and the Catholic Church
October 27, 2009

“From 966 A.D. when the Polish people converted to Christianity, the Catholic Church has been a dominant and unifying force in Poland” (Ediger, 301). This statement couldn’t be more understated. While nearly all democracies currently in existence have a strict division between Church and state, Poland defies this normality and allows the Catholic Church to have a loud say in its government. The continuance of the Catholic Church’s values permeating through the government undermine the majority of the public in Poland and continues to be a problem when considering the lack tolerance o...

October 12, 2009

The clerical shirts may be bought from shops made of bricks and mortar. They can even be bought online. Which option is better? Which one is more convenient and profitable? Let’s us discuss. Clerical shirts are specialist apparel for the clergy. Their consumers are limited in number, as these strictly represent the clergy community such as Anglican and catholic priests. As a result, the demand for the shirts is consistent but it never goes higher than a certain point. Obviously, business is not brisk if you would ever go to an offline store selling clerical shirts.

This movie version of the Dan Brown classic is one of the most controversial and intriguing, and I doubt there is someone else out there who would question that. Before anything else, let us first establish that "The Da Vinci Code" is not an outright attack to Catholic religion conservatives nor is it an entertainment exclusive for those who have completed their Dan Brown (Langdon) series or their Holy Grail collections. The good thing about this film is that anyone can watch and understand it (provided, of course, that there are practically no restrictions when it comes to cinema admissi... (read more)
