I have a question for CATHOLICS ONLY
I was told at this site that Catholics do not consider themselves a denomination, but they consider the different Protestant groups denominations. Which I respect and understand.
I was wondering what do Catholics prefer to be called ? For instance, I made a prayer request and some got offended because I asked from prayer from all denominations as well as Catholics. Of course this wasn't meant maliciously, I was trying to be careful not to call a group a name they didn't want to be called.
EX: I am multiracial: black, italian, and indian and some people in the past have called blacks that are mixed mullato, negro, colored, etc..but I prefer to be called African-american or multi-racial.
So I was wondering what is the proper title to use when refering to Catholics in a sentence since they don't consider themselves a denomination ??
Because I certainly wouldn't want to offend anyone's religious affiliation.
