Church history. When was the term "Catholic" first used?
Quick two minute video. As early as 110AD we have the Greek version of the word "Catholic" used in writing. It's not at all a stretch to place the original use of the term decades prior to 110AD. Parts of the New Testament hadn't even been completed yet when the term was being used. Think about that.
Notice in the letter by Ignatius we have mention of Bishops and the Eucharist. The original Christian Church sounds pretty Catholic to me!
It's Just awesome to be a part of the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church founded by Christ Himself! Why would you go to any other Church?!
