When was the title 'Catholic Christians' given to its followers and by whom?
The title "Catholic Christians," comes from the very early use of the expression "catholic churches." This term was a form of self-description, used by the overwhelming majority of churches that were in fellowship with each other throughout the whole Roman Empire. It comes from the latin, where "catholic" is just an ordinary noun that means "universal." For example, a reference to "catholic churches" is to be found in the letter of the bishops meeting at Antioch, which dealt with matter of the deposition of Paul of Samosata as bishop of that city (Eusebius, Ecclesiastical History, 7.30). This letter was writen around 268, and was addressed to the "whole catholic (universal) church throughout the world under heaven." The term was already well in use before that date, and primarily arose from the need to distinguish these "universal churches" from the rival Marcionite and Gnostic christian churches.In 380 AD, a joint decree from both Roman Emperors (East and West) was issued which retained the name of the eastern Emperor Theodosius: Codex Theodosianus 16.1.2. that instructed all who followed the Nicene Creed to be called 'Catholic Christians."Theodosius put great difficulties in the way of all Christians who did not accept the Nicene Creed, calling them heretics and describing them as having "insane and obstinate minds." According to this decree, these non-Nicene Christians were not allowed to have any buildings in which to gather for worship, and furthermore, they were not allowed to gather for worship inside any city.Yet this edict was not able to be put fully into effect, as the Arian Christians, against whom this edict was primarily directed, were in the majority amongst the numerous German tribes living within the empire, and who contributed large numbers to his army. Some compromises were required.
Can a man married and divorced by the state and divorced marry a Catholic woman?
You mean he got married and divorced by a minister who is not a priest or deacon, without the Catholic church's blessing? If this is what you are asking, the answer turns on: 1) Was the man Catholic? If he was, then the Church will not recognize his first marriage unless he got permission from his bishop to get married by the state. So, because he was never married, he won't have any difficulties marrying a Catholic woman who has never been married in the Catholic Church after receiving an annulment (a decree that no marriage ever existed). 2) If the man was not Catholic at the time of the first marriage, the church WILL recognize it. He will need to submit for an decree of nullity (an annulment) to see if the marriage was valid or not. If it was not valid he may marry after the decree is issued, otherwise, no.
