Random Thought 1: I get frustrated when people who know better always talk about Catholics and Christians being two separate religions. The fact is that Catholics are Christians, in fact, we are the first and only Christians, the Church established by Jesus Christ. The word “Christian” was coined by St. Ignatius the Patriarch of Antioch in the second century A.D. St. Ignatius was martyred for the faith by the Roman Empire. He is one of the great saints of the Catholic Church. So, you might ask, what about the religions that follow Christ but are not Catholic. They are properly termed as Protestants, those who protest against the doctrines of the Catholic Church. The protestant churches have suppressed the sacraments of Christ, except Baptism and through their valid Baptism they are brothers and sisters in Christ with us, not as Catholics but as apostates.
