And suddenly there came from the sky a noise like a strong driving wind, and it filled the entire house in which they were. And they were all filled with the holy Spirit and began to speak in different tongues, as the Spirit enabled them to proclaim. -The 3rd Glorious Mystery

the word catholic


Question from on 06-08-2007:

my son is Catholic and his wife was raised Baptist and are wanting to
come back to the church. She wants to know, where did the word Catholic
come from? I have already explained to her the mass and the rosary to
the best of my ability, but I don't know the answer to this one. HELP!

Answer by Richard Geraghty on 06-09-2007:

Dear Linda,

The word "Catholic" means
"universal" in Greek. It seems that it was used by St. Ignatius in the
second century to refer to the Christian Church.
