How is the Catholic Church Catholic?
The word "Catholic" means "universal" and is applied to the Church as Jesus has sent Her to all people in all countries, in all ages. By "Catholic" meaning universal, at any Catholic Church in the world on any given sunday, they would read the same passages.

Did a colonial Catholic priests in Maryland live in the Church?
Priests, as they do today, would have lived in a separate dwelling called a rectory, not in the church.
There has been recent tension between the Catholic Church and whom?
Roman Catholic commentPerhaps a better question would be, "who doesn't have tensions with the Catholic Church?" Jesus told us that we would stand alone against the world, the flesh, and the devil, and that men would hate us. The press, in particular, has been, pardon the expression, crucifying the Catholic Church, the Bishops, and particularly the Holy Father. The Church has always stood as the witness to God in this world, and the world, whose prince, as Jesus tells us, is Satan, is not happy with this witness.
Is Roman Catholic Christian?
Roman Catholic AnswerYes, of course, the Roman Catholic Church is the Church that was founded by Jesus Christ who sent the Holy Spirit at Pentecost to be with it and guide it in all truth until the end of time. He appointed Peter as the His first Vicar on earth (the first Pope) and he and his successors will rule the Church of Christ until Jesus returns. Jesus guaranteed that His Church would remain One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic. The use of the word, Christian, to refer to practically anyone and anything these days is to be deplored. The use of the word, Christian, to exclude the Catholic Christian Church is either hubris or ignorance.
How would the Catholic Church respond if Jesus who was Jewish wanted communion?
The Catholic Church would not administer Communion to Jesus. This is not due to the fact that he was "Jewish" (all Christians for the first two centuries after Jesus's death were considered Jewish), but because Jesus is the Bread of Life. The Host contains His Spirit. The purpose of Communion is also to administer God's grace. Jesus Christ, being one person in the Triune God, would not need to receive His own graces.
Why is it that the teaching of the Catholic Church today does not bear or carry the teaching of Jesus or the Apostles?
Roman Catholic AnswerThis question puts me in mind of "When did you stop beating your wife?". That question assumes that you have been beating your wife. This question assumes that the Catholic Church does not carry the teaching of Jesus and the Apostles which is absolute nonsense as, by very definition, the Catholic Church is the only Church which was established by Jesus Christ, Himself, and God sent the Holy Spirit to guide it until the end of time. So, it is obvious that the Catholic Church is the only Christian Church; or as the Creed puts it, the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church. Other "Churches" have Christians in them only insofar as they have a valid baptism, and believe in the Nicene Creed in its traditional interpretation. Further, Jesus appointed Peter and his successors as Vicars to rule His Church on earth. To question that the Church does not carry on the teaching of Jesus is to say that God is either a liar or that He is incapable of fulfilling His promises. To do either is blasphemous, and the only people who raise such a question, historically, have been protestants who came into existence fifteen centuries after the crucifixion and resurrection of Our Blessed Lord and decided that Jesus indeed had been unable to fulfill His promises to be with His Church and protect It from error. In coming to this outrageous assumption, they left the Church that God established for the salvation of His people and formed their own ecclesial community thus depriving themselves, and their progeny to the means of salvation that Jesus left us. I would recommend two things in answer to this question. For the bare facts, please read the Catechism of the Catholic Church particularly starting at paragraph #857 which discusses the Church is Apostolic. The second thing I would recommend is sincere, humble prayer to Jesus asking Him to guide you into all truth, and discussing this with one of His priests in His Church.
