July Explanation Station – St. John Nepomucene Adult Faith Formation

July Explanation Station – St. John Nepomucene Adult Faith Formation

The ONLY Christian church in existence for the first 1,000 years of Christian history was the Roman Catholic Church. All other Christian churches which exist today can trace their lineage back to the Roman Catholic Church. Most non-Catholic churches which exist today are less than a century or two old by comparison.

June Explanation Station – St. John Nepomucene Adult Faith Formation

June Explanation Station – St. John Nepomucene Adult Faith Formation

The word “Catholic” was first used by Ignatius of Antioch around the year A.D. 110. It is from the Greek word katholikos, which means “toward the whole.” Ignatius was suggesting that the Church is a gift offered by Christ to all people. The Catholic Church is the largest single denomination in Christianity. It was the church that added modern-day chapters and verses to the Bible.
