Roman church leaders…

One of the falsehoods that Protestants push is to try to reduce the Catholic Church to only Rome. It comprises of over a billion faithful and over 5000 bishops and is spread throughout the world. It is not the "Roman church" but the CATHOLIC (Universal) Church.

The main question raised by the article is this: are the Greek Orthodox included in that number?

This information has been shared here many times almost as if forum readers don’t know that Catholic Church (Roman rite) headquarters are at the Vatican (Rome) headed by a pope and that this particular Catholic branch (capital C) IS commonly referred to as the Roman Catholic Church.

It’s a word game some RCs on FR insist on playing.
