You get off it! Its what the Church teaches. I will take the authority of the Church over you people any day. You are amusing and a great resource
So you will take the authority of a church that gives false history when real history is out there to be read, and from a church that bends and twists scripture, and even has had a couple of popes who have made statements that what they say is to be followed rather it contradicts scripture.
Here is the true history of catholic............
The word catholic (with lowercase c; derived via Late Latin catholicus, from the Greek adjective καθολικός (katholikos), meaning "universal"[SUP][1][/SUP][SUP][2][/SUP]) comes from the Greek phraseκαθόλου (katholou), meaning "on the whole", "according to the whole" or "in general", and is a combination of the Greek words κατά meaning "about" and ὅλος meaning "whole".[SUP][3][/SUP][SUP][4][/SUP] The word in English can mean either "including a wide variety of things; all-embracing" or "of the Roman Catholic faith" as "relating to the historic doctrine and practice of the Western Church.".[SUP][5][/SUP] ("Catholicos, the title used for the head of some churches in Eastern Christian traditions, is derived from the same linguistic origin.)
The term Catholic (usually written with uppercase C in English) was first used to describe the Christian Church in the early 2nd century to emphasize its universal scope. In the context of Christian ecclesiology, it has a rich history and several usages. In non-ecclesiastical use, it derives its English meaning directly from its root, and is currently used to mean the following:
- universal or of general interest;
- liberal, having broad interests, or wide sympathies;[SUP][6][/SUP] or
- inclusive, inviting and containing strong evangelism.
[/SUP][SUP]The Apostle Peter was crucified upside down in the 1st century of the early church, and the Catholic church was formed in the 2nd century.
Peter can not be a pope of a church denomination that did not exist yet !!![/SUP]
