What does Saint Ignatius compare the Roman Catholic Church and Jesus Christ to?

St. Ignatius of Antioch lived in the first century, dying in the early second century, about 1,500 years before the English coined the epithet "Roman Catholic" so, of course, he never used such a term. St. Ignatius gives us one of the first examples in writing of the use the "Catholic" to describe the Christian Church that Jesus Christ founded, in his Letter to the Smyrnaeans he says:Wherever the bishop appears, there let the people be; as wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church. It is not lawful to baptize or give communion without the consent of the bishop. On the other hand, whatever has his approval is pleasing to God. Thus, whatever is done will be safe and valid.
