Evangetholic Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I understand why either might be. I'm just curious to see. Please explain your choice. I chose "Christian" because it's used in the Bible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightofChrist Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I regard the terms to be interchangeable. So I like both the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PadrePioOfPietrelcino Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I like Catholic because it entails Christian, and the Christian term is so abused that I feel Catholic does a better job of explaining who I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apotheoun Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Both words are dear to me. In fact, I would add the word "orthodox" to the list, since I see myself as an Orthodox Catholic Christian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evangetholic Posted February 21, 2013 Author Share Posted February 21, 2013 (edited) I like Catholic because it entails Christian, and the Christian term is so abused that I feel Catholic does a better job of explaining who I am. I hadn't thought of this. Catholic suggesting fidelity to a certain body of beliefs (including fidelity to the Holy See), but Christian in these Wild West Days might mean virtually anything.

Basilisa Marie Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I identify more with Catholic because being Catholic made me different where I grew up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Autumn Dusk Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Technically Catholic would be in the bible. All it is is the word "Universal" which is in the Bible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SstrAli Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Catholic, because then if someone stumbles across me and ask if I'm Catholic...and I say yes and get the normal response...You aren't a Christian then??? And then its a means for evangelization!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
