I'm not Catholic but my guess is that it has something to do with denoting the separation between them and the Greek Orthodox church.

So it has to do with differentiating themselves from the Greek Orthodox Church. ? Are you sure about that.??

A podcast that I listen to weekly is 5 Minutes in Church History. The text from the Sept 19, 2023 podcast explains the Great Schism of 1054. An excerpt:

You had to see it to believe it. During the pope’s September 2010 visit to the United Kingdom, one protester’s sign stood out, far out, from the others. In large markered letters on the back of a pizza box, the theologically minded protester declared, “Drop the Filioque!”

The single Latin word on the sign means “and the son.” And this single Latin word holds the dubious honor of being one of the main factors responsible for the largest church split to date: the Great Schism in 1054 between the Roman Catholic Church in the West, with its seat of power in Rome, and the Orthodox Church in the East, with its seat of power in Constantinople. That’s a lot for a single word to bear.

The Catholic Church was the unification of hundreds of first century Christian Cults and Churches that existed among the Roman Empire in the years following the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth. The world Catholic means Universal. In those days, Christians or their churches/cults would rarely describe themselves as Christian. They would refer to themselves as followers of Jesus of Nazareth, followers of the way, "The Church" - for this term came from them.

The Universal Church

It became the Roman Catholic Church - The Roman Universal Church - after the Roman Empire adopted it as the official religion of the Empire - which led to it becoming the most followed religion in the history of the known world - billions and billions of followers - to this very day.

No. The Greek Orthodox Church split from the Roman Catholic Church during The Great Schism in 1054. The Roman Catholic Church is the foundation for all Christian dominations worldwide - despite what revisionists like to invent.

It always has been .

An cruel invention to keep the Sheeple under Control .

But now wrecked by the new cave findings at Qumran where Jesus the Essene monk flatly denies being the Son of God .

Best example of modern Mind Control before the rise of MK Ultra .

I'd like to ask you a question. What does the word "apostle" mean to Catholics? How is it defined and used? I ask because I keep hearing Catholics try to trace the organization of the RCC to Peter. That Peter wanted Linus to become the head of the Church after his death instead of one of the remaining apostles like Paul or John. Did John apostatize or did Paul apostatize? Also, I hear Catholics say Peter was the first pope. No, he was the senior apostle. Jesus never called his position a pope. Maybe you can clear some of this up.

Matthew 23:7-10
7 And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.
8 But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.
9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.
10 Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ.

The meaning of the word, "Pope" is father. see Pope (title). Apparently in direct conflict with the teachings of Jesus.

When I was teaching at a Catholic High School, the faculty were having private mass celebration in the school library. The Father, who was conducting, read that very section during a prayer. I opened my eyes and noticed a couple of teachers with a puzzling look on their faces.
Now, there is the fact that in Exodus 20:12, one of the Ten Commandments is "Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee." So, the verse in Matt 23:9 is specific for religious reasons calling a leader "father" or "Father" capitalized. If this is not the case, then in Exodus 20:12, there would then be an actual statement in the Bible that we also have a Mother in Heaven.

Not at all. Roman Catholicism is based on the simple idea that Almighty God put Adam and Eve into the Garden, not Adam and Steve.

Just like any other non-cultic religious faith.

There is a huge difference between the RCC and cultic faiths like Unitarian Universalism and Radical Episcopalianism.
