Use of the term "denomination"

[Reformed_Rob]

As you suggest, it is incorrect to call the Catholic Church a “denomination.” However, please note that it is also wrong to call her “Roman Catholic.”

Thanks for that link and pointing that out, Lepanto.

The term Roman Catholic is not used by the Church herself; it is a relatively modern term, and one, moreover, that is confined largely to the English language.

That term caught on mostly in English-speaking countries; it was promoted mostly by Anglicans, supporters of the “branch theory” of the Church, namely, that the one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church of the creed was supposed to consist of three major branches, the Anglican, the Orthodox and the so-called Roman Catholic.
