She didn't say Roman Catholicism and didn't mean Roman Catholicsim.
She said Catholics, in the Catholic Church.
Of course she meant the “Roman Catholic Church.”
The “Catholic Church” includes all Christians, whether they submit to the Pope or not. The “Roman Catholic Church” is the denomination of Christians whose head is found in Rome.
In one sense, I am “Catholic.” I am a member of the universal Church. But in another sense, I am not “Roman Catholic,” as the Pope is not my authority; Christ alone is my ultimate authority.
Listen, if she meant the “Catholic Church,” she would not have talked trash about other “Catholic Churches” such as the Lutherans, the Baptists, and so on (all of whom are part of the “universal” Catholic Church).
Again, this bigotry about Rome is sickening. I’m confident Christ is sick of the fixation with Rome as well, and desires for His people to look to Him as Lord, rather than to some place and some person in Italy.
May Christ increase. May Rome decrease.
