I see no reason from the arguments posted on this thread to alter the above meanings.

So the dictionary definition that those who profess faith in Christ as Catholic does not create a reason to look at the tag because it includes those outside those churches associated with Rome?

So the dictionary definition...

You cut off the Merriam-Webster definition. Why don't you post the whole thing?

The labeling of a caucus on the Religion Forum does not need to comply with dictionary definitions. "Non-denominational" for instance is a caucus that includes Independent Baptists.

If a newbie wanders in unaware of the terms we use for labeling caucuses, he will no doubt be informed by the members and/or by me what the terms mean here on the RF.

The dictionary definition you posted was INCOMPLETE.

Catholic with a capital "C" is a PROPER NOUN and refers to the Catholic Church and its members. Catholic with a lower-case "C" is an ADJECTIVE which means universal.

C'mon, just say it. What do you believe that "Catholic Caucus" threads be redesignated as?
