“Ridiculous and childishly liberal. Whatever term is used will always become perjorative.”
Really? Call me a Catholic then.
“Really? Call me a Catholic then.”
That’s not accurate in all places. And it feeds into the delusion that the Roman Church is THE all inclusive, final, and full church of Christ on earth.
So additional descriptors are called for. For example the Eastern Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox, that claim unbroken apostolic succession from the early Church and identify themselves as the Catholic Church.
And my point is that if someone has negative views towards another, ANY term they use towards the negative target will soon become a perjorative. Then the word must be changed to soothe hurt feelings. The process begins again and again because the issue was never really the word itself. I was the negative way in which the subject is viewed by the speaker.
