Acts 11:26 And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.

Oooops.

no Ooooops necessary, Catholics are still first and foremose Christians....however, Christians became referred to as Catholic by the end of the first century....maybe the Jewish community didn't like the word Christian...who knows?? It matters not when, all that matters is that it was Christ and His followers who became known as Catholic.
