There is no Church more Biblical in the world than the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church, especially through the work of countless monks over the centuries, carefully preserved the Sacred Scriptures that Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ used. The Catholic Church wrote all the books contained in the New Testament, and decided which ones were infallible and which were not, and so made up the New Testament canon at the end of the fourth century by Pope Damasus and the Council of Rome. If it were not for the Catholic Church there would be no Bible, and for that matter there would have been no protestants to protest and break away from it fifteen centuries later - and then make up their own Bible.

.Catholic AnswerRoman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church and Biblical Christianity are the same thing as the Catholic Church wrote and compiled the New Testament, although there was no New Testament, as we have it now, until the Council of Rome near the end of the fourth century. Christianity has always been the Catholic Church, and, as Our Blessed Lord promised, it remains the only Christianity Church and will be here until the end of the world.

It means that as far as the Lollards were concerned, the Catholic Church's method of ordaining priests had no Biblical basis.
.Catholic AnswerThe name "Catholic" came about before the Bible (New Testament) was written completely, and definitely before it was put together in the fourth century. The "Church" part is in the Bible, but not the word "Catholic." Members of the Catholic Church wrote the Bible, and then Pope Damasus and the Council of Rome ordered which books definitively made up the Canon of the New Testament. In other words, the Bible depends upon the Catholic Church, not the other way around. So, no, the words "Catholic Church" do not appear in the New Testament.
