why don't we just 'bury the hatchet' on this pointless sparring?/QUOTE]
I'm all for it

The CC has been around for two thousand years. Catholic means universal or of the whole.
There is only one Catholic Church and everyone knows it's base of operations. Vatican Hill.
What you are talking about is catholic with a small "c"
Which is the body of all belivers
Peace
As I said, the redefining of words. Rome adopted the catholic adjective in order to make it a noun and applied it to themselves.The CC has been around for two thousand years. Catholic means universal or of the whole.

2cor 13:11What exactly did Paul say?

The roman church did not exist in the beginning, no matter how many times rome rewrites history to fit its appetite for power.

Agreed.

Some do, I suppose. The Old Catholics say, for example, that the RCC abandoned Catholic principles, teaching, history, and tradition when it made the Pope infallible in 1870, meaning that they, the Old Catholics, would be better described by the word. But many of the others don't "deny" the RCC at all; they merely say that they are as Catholic as the RCC is.
(I'm not buying Mont's argument on this, you see, but that of other churches which normally refer to themselves as Catholics and have a connection to historic Catholic belief and practice.)
I can see the logic in that argument. Also I belive that they also have a line of succession. Meaning that they are apostolic. I belive the Anglican and Old Catholic and others.
Since, however, everyone seems to agree that all parties are Christian...and that the word "Roman" is appropriate when speaking of the Church overseen by the Pope...
