The article equates “catholic” with Churches that are in communion with the Bishop of Rome. Sorry, catholic is any church where there is a validly ordained bishop, where there’s a valid Eucharist. And last time I checked, the Churches that have valid clergy and valid sacraments, but are not in communion with the Bishop of Rome, are Eastern (Orthodox) Churches and by definition also catholic Churches.
