As religion becomes less relevant the sectarian tensions will lessen. The world will be a better place for it.In the early 20th Century, they mocked Catholics. But I think thats what I noticed that they still hate Catholics. Or maybe not Catholics but the Pope and the Catholic Church. They mock the Catholic Faith. Joe Biden is only the second Catholic President of the USA, and one was assassinated before J.F.Kennedy.
Calling it "catholic" (universal) was clever trick. The "Bolsheviks" copied it later.Well they did all to maintain Christianity and look where it got them, the evangelicals have changed it and not for the better and turned on the Cathodic Church.

As the religions wane and the bad things of it you do not like are less relevant, so do the good things.

Bullshit. Check out Belfast if you want to see the effects of sectarianism.As the religions wane and the bad things of it you do not like are less relevant, so do the good things.

Catholic (from the beginning) means "Open and welcoming to all." Remember, Catholicism has its roots in Judaism which one had to be born into. Otherwise, those interested in Judaism were known as God Fearers.Calling it "catholic" (universal) was clever trick.

Might try reading actual history in favor of Wiki.Roman propaganda is strong.

More interesting: Why the objection? Is not Christianity open and welcoming to all (or "universal" if that is preferred). I care not. The point is that the term appears in writing as early as 110; verbal usage usually takes place well before it appears in writing. There was nothing "tricky" about it, or for that matter even "clever". It was an ordinary description being used for a Church and a faith that is open to all, welcoming all.Might try citing an error in Wiki coverage of Roman Catholicism (which evolved from the Roman State Church).
My interest lies in history--including etymology. You noted that Catholic means "universal". "Universal" comes from Old French, and Old French was spoken between the 8th and 14th centuries. It is thought "universal" popped up around the 12th century. Meanwhile, Catholic was in use over a thousand years before that. The word closest to "universal" in Latin meant One. I find this interesting because of Jesus' own prayer--that his followers would remain One just as he was One with the Father."Christianity" is open to all. Certain sects, churches calling themselves Christian, make exclusive regulations and set certain standards. One person in an Italian city pronouncing measures that are supposed to apply to all Christians is not "open", it is absurd. If a Christian wants to know how to be a Christian and what to do, prayer and communion with fellow Christians is the prescribed action. Dictates from afar are arguably against the individual responsibility that Christ pointed out.
Of course, if we are not truly Christian, then anything goes.
The division in Belfast isnt so much about the religion, but a way more about the ethnicity.Bullshit.

There is little friction between Protestants and Catholics in the USA today. The divide was a much bigger issue long ago.In the early 20th Century, they mocked Catholics.
