About the Roman Catholic Church

Why do we use the term "Roman Catholic" instead of "Catholic"?
We do this to avoid confusion. Most Christian faith groups
acknowledge the Nicene
Creed and thus regard themselves as "Catholic," at least as
far as being part of the "catholic and apostolic church."
Within any one given faith group, the meaning of the term "Catholic"
is relatively clear. But our site deals with all Christian denominations
and all other religions. To assure clarity and to avoid ambiguity, we use
the term "Roman Catholic" when referring to the church
headed by the pope in the Vatican. We use similar terms (e.g. Evangelical Catholic,
Anglo-Catholic, Old Catholic) when referring to some other Christian faith groups.
We often use the abbreviation RCC to
refer to the Roman Catholic Church. This saves wear and tear on your eyeballs
and on our fingers.
