You write in a very confusing manner, WPaCon. You earlier wrote...

"I am pleasantly surprised that you referred to Catholics as Roman Catholics."

And now you would have us believe...

"I was saying that using the term “Catholic” is better than “Roman Catholic”

That is not what your post said or implied.

Sorry if I am confusing. I said I was pleasantly surprised that you used the term “Roman Catholic” for Catholics, as it is better than “papist,” “romanist,” “RC,” etc.

When I said “Catholic > Roman Catholic > papist,” I was trying to clarify that, although using the term “Roman Catholic” is better than using the term “papist,” using “Catholic” without the “Roman” is best.

I hope this clears things up.
