Why is that when you ask RC's what religion they are most answer: "Catholic", but non-catholics answer: "Christian". And they keep insisting to us they are Christians (and I'm not implying that they aren't). Then why don't they answer "Christian"?

Um, maybe to be helpful?

I don't think most "non-Catholics" would answer "Christian," but rather "Lutheran," "Methodist," "Baptist," etc.

Oh, and by the way, the "Christian" part is understood by most. We could say "Catholic Christian" or "Lutheran Christian" or "Presbyterian Christian" but it is awfully pedantic to most.

Or as that dummy St. Augustine says; "rocky".

You know you keep saying this and I'm going to have to call you on it.

As far as I know Augustine didn't speak English, at least modern English, and had no familiarity with post-modern American culture.

So whence are you deriving this name?
