No one in the first century talked about being a Roman Catholic: its not in the words of the Bible.

And where in the article does it call him a "Roman Catholic"?

The term "Roman Catholic" does not appear in the Bible, but then neither does the word "Bible". And when Paul talks about "scripture", he isn't refering to the "New Testament" writings either.

The term "Roman Catholic" didn't appear until the great schism, so even "Roman Catholics" didn't refer to themselves as "Roman Catholics" for hundreds and hundreds of years.

So what is your point?

The point is this - that the Pope and all Catholics call and refer to all the 12 apostles as "Catholic" as inclusion into the Catholic church, but these 12 were Jewish believers in Christ, and universal believers in the same faith that Christ is Messiah and Lord and the Son of God.

You should direct your point to the Catholics: "the term Roman Catholic does not appear until the great schism, so Roman Catholics did not refer to themselves as Roman Catholics". By that same exact reasoning Roman Catholics cannot call first century Jewish followers of Christ and apostles of Christ as "Catholic" today.

Im not a Roman Catholic and I was reading BiblicalTruths post saying ???? HUH? There are some that define themselves by stating what they do not believe rather than actually know what they do. Weird.
