What Does Catholic Mean Across Churches
Fr. Matthew Davis discusses the breadth of the term catholic across Roman Catholic, Anglican, Orthodox, and Lutheran groups. He argues for a broad, universal church defined by the Nicene Creed, shared sacraments, bishops, and Christ’s function, while noting Vatican II as a bridge and Benedict XVI's stance as a point of debate.
