▲ 94 r/Catholicism
In the past I used to answer "I'm Christian", and still nowadays I consider "Christian" more important than "Catholic" in order to describe myself.
Anyway, I began to say "Catholic" in order to distinguish myself from specific things:
- in order to be distinguished from Orthodoxy because of huge national political influence in Orthodox national Churches
- in order to be distinguished from historical Protestantism because of division over theology and Anglican female archbishop
- in order to be distinguished from Evangelicalism because of theological confusion, fundamentalism and what happened at the White House
- in order to be distinguished from Progressive Christianity because of grave heresy
