Catholics ARE "Christians"; so why aren't all Christians Catholic?

TRULY appreciate your reply

Your understanding of TRUTH though evades my pragmatic comprehension:shrug:

Dictionary Definition:
noun, plural truths:
The true or actual state of a matter:

1. conformity with fact or reality; verity: the truth of a statement.
2. a verified or indisputable fact, proposition, principle, or the like: mathematical truths.
   4. the state or character of being true.
   5. actuality or actual existence.
   6. an obvious or accepted fact; truism; platitude.
   7. honesty; integrity; truthfulness.
   8. (often initial capital letter) ideal or fundamental reality apart from and transcending perceived
   experience:
   9. agreement with a standard or original.
   10. accuracy, as of position or adjustment.
   11. Archaic. fidelity or constancy.

Eleven definitions of ONE reality Testify that “Truth” must be singular per defined issue in-order to actually be “The Truth.”

WHERE my FRIEND in this definition is there room for vacillation or relativism?

Please respond

Hi Patrick,

I think I only vacillated away from your belief (CC’s) of several truths, and agreed to others. I think what I said "yes’’ to is more universal to all Christians, more “catholic”. Having a different opinion or belief on a matter is not vacillating or relative. We both posted in belief in absolute truth on any given issue. As I noted then and now benevolently, what we have is not relativism or vacillation, but “mishandling of truth” , or good ol fashioned error, not based on truth and spirit, to blame for our differences.

Blessings
