→Move to "Catholic Church"?
''Catholic Encyclopedia'' has a strongly worded entry that argues in favor of "Catholic Church" as opposed to "Roman Catholic Church."[http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/13121a.htm] [[User:PeterKa|PeterKa]] ([[User talk:PeterKa|talk]]) 08:04, 25 May 2016 (EDT)

:Catholic Church can refer to the church universal: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/catholic That is Webster's first definition. In other words, all followers of Christ worldwide: http://www.gotquestions.org/universal-local-church.html [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]]) 08:31, 25 May 2016 (EDT)

::When was the last time anyone actually referred to their non-"Roman" Catholic church as "the Catholic Church"? The "Roman" Catholic Church's name does NOT include the anti-Catholic epithet "Roman". That was added by Anglicans during the English Reformation, originally as "Romish" or "Papist", later softened to "Roman" (but not removed!). The Second Vatican Council states:
:::Haec est unica Christi Ecclesia, quam in Symbolo unam, sanctam, catholicam et apostolicam profitemur(12), quam Salvator noster, post resurrectionem suam Petro pascendam tradidit (cf. Io 21,17), eique ac ceteris Apostolis diffundendam et regendam commisit (cf. Mt 28,18ss.), et in perpetuum ut columnam et firmamentum veritatis erexit (cf. 1Tim 3,15). Haec Ecclesia, in hoc mundo ut societas constituta et ordinata, '''subsistit in Ecclesia catholica''', a successore Petri et Episcopis in eius communione gubernata(13), licet extra eius compaginem elementa plura sanctificationis et veritatis inveniantur, quae ut dona Ecclesiae Christi propria, ad unitatem catholicam impellunt.
