Protestant error #2..

[Cavaradossi]

I agree with everything you say, but the term “Catholic” was something the “early Church” (Meaning the Catholic Church) always called itself as, at least regarding the evidence. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catholicism#History_of_the_term_Catholic

It’s first mentioned in the letter to the Smyrnaeans by St. Ignatius of Antioch. And placing this, in conjunction to the other chronicles, letters and epistles, we see that the Orthodox Churches of today also called themselves Catholic back then.

I think this was something that needed to be brought up.

We still call ourselves Catholic, much in the same way that any Roman/Eastern Catholic would say that his faith is ‘orthodox’.
