Catholic Answer

The word, "Catholic" is the modern form of the Latin word catholicus and the Greek word, katholikos, both of which mean "universal" It does not appear in The Bible but was first used in written form in the year 106 AD in letters from St. Ignatius of Antioch that survive even today. If it was commonly used in verbal communications before that we do not know. The Bible (the New Testament) was not put together, as we have it today, until around 390 A.D. or a good two centuries AFTER the Church was known as "Catholic", and about the same time that the Bible was finished being written.
