"They didn't call themselves "Catholic" at first. But when the first of the anti-Christs came, calling themselves Christians but preaching another Gospel than the one received, the true Christians started calling themselves "Catholic" to differentiate themselves from the heretics and wolves, who had set up competing churches with their own bishops and priests"

Ignatius of Antioch, who died for the Faith in the jaws of lions in Rome in AD 110. He was a personal friend of Polycarp of Smyrna, who was discipled by the Apostle John, and probably also knew both Peter and Paul.

What are your credentials?
