St. Anthony is Catholic and Christian. A Catholic and a Christian are the same thing, so he is both not "or". The words did not take on different meaning until the last several centuries when protestants who retained baptism broke away from the Christian (Catholic) church and formed their own ecclesial communities. They are still Christian, through their baptism but no longer acknowledging the authority of Jesus Christ and His Church on earth, so they call themselves Christian as opposed to Catholic, but this had no such meaning at the time that St. Anthony lived.
