1. The Catholic Church as distinct from Christian ecclesiastical bodies that do not recognize the papal primacy;
.
2. The Catholic faith as the belief of the universal body of the faithful, namely, that which is believed "everywhere, always , and by all" (Vincentian Canon);
.
3. Orthodoxy as distinguished from what is heretical or schismatical;

4. The undivided Church before the Eastern Schism of 1054; thereafter the Eastern Church has called itself orthodox, in contrast with those Christian bodies which did not accept the definitions of Ephesus and Chalcedon on the divinity of Christ.
