There are thousands ov varying beliefs and practices among the "Catholics" of the world but one term, "Catholic", is proposed as the proper definition of this great diversity of beliefs and practices.

A dodge.

Of course there is great variation in beliefs of INDIVIDUAL Catholics, but that is the case with ANY GROUP.

However, there IS a comprehensive definition of Catholic beliefs and that is contained in the Catechism of the Catholic Church.

So, unless you can point to a uniform set of beliefs shared by Evangelicals or Protestants or whatever you want to call them it is not a dodge.

As I said before, with the exception (and even these vary by degrees) of the rejection of papal primacy, professed adherence to sola scriptura and rejection of Purgatory, can you list a SINGLE belief that Evangelicals or Protestants share which Catholics do not also share?

As I have answered before, the unifying belief is our belief in The Gospel with no "ands", "buts", or "maybe's".

It is a clear distinction.
