Catholic

Catholic was the word used to describe the true church of Christ by the first Christians and to defend her against heretical sects. St. Ignatius succeeded Peter as the bishop of Antioch and on his way to martyrdom exhorts everyone to remain faithful to the one and only Catholic Church established by Christ and entrusted to Peter and his successors. Anglicans attempted to usurp the name Catholic by adding the the name Roman to the Church they excommunicated themselves from. The Nicene Creed, used by all Christians,  does not include an Anglican Catholic Church or a Methodist Catholic Church or a Lutheran Catholic Church or an Orthodox Catholic Church, but rather only One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. Even the enemies of the Church disparage her as the "Catholic Church"
