My understanding is that the Greek word Katholic , was coined in the first century to describe the universal Church. We of course call ourselves Catholic, so it is not merely a word, but part of how we define ourselves, our very Christian identity. It would that we have been know as Catholic since the first century. Is there a direct reference to the word Catholic in the Bible? Other Greek words we use are, Kyrie Eleison , Lord have mercy, Apostolic , meaning messenger. Hermeneutics , interpretation. Mystagogos ? I think means teacher of mysteries. Episcopal, Bishop . I believe Our Lord uses a Greek word to open or signify the healing of the deaf & mute man, by saying - Ephphatha! The Gospel passage is in Mark 7:31-37. I wonder why Jesus used the Greek word. Can anyone think of anymore? Edited by Poesy, Tuesday, 16. June 2009, 05:43.
