The term papist is indeed used.

But if you read the the context of the article the author is refuting the stance of a Reformed father.

He is not using the tern in a current context, but in the context of a historical document.

Oh no, Cathoic threads that have had their caucus designations removed were done for terms less than that.

Good point. It stuck out like a sore thumb to me, even in context, just as some of the things Luther said in the introduction of the Small Catechism did. I've come to expect no possibility of any threads being allowed a "Lutheran Caucus" designation, because of things like that.

I can't say that I've ever seen any Jewish challenge to Catholic Caucus designations, nor do I see any on this thread.

“Papist” is a term that Catholics sometimes use to refer to themselves. An example can be found in Post 11 of this thread: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1736761/posts

Or the tagline to post 3 of this thread:

See also the American Papist website http://www.americanpapist.com/blog.html where it is defined as ‘Papist: n. A Catholic who is a strong advocate of the papacy.’
