“His son, the Rev. Vic Cianca, vicar general of Assyrian Church of the East, said ... “we’re very Catholic,”
Assyrian Church of the East...very Catholic?
I’m just saying.
Pre-dates the Latin Church. Remember christianity began in the east and spread west. It was in the city of Antioch that Peter served as bishop before going to Rome. It was also in Antioch that the words "christian" and "catholic" were first used.
