I do know that the church to which I belong, St Mary's Catholic Church in Peru IL has both the standard Christian cross and the Celtic Cross on the roof of the church. The Christian cross extends high on the steeple and the Celtic cross is above the doors. This parish was formed and the present church built by immigrants wishing to establish an English speaking church as the others in town were either Polish or German. This is presently an endangered church.
They use the Old Catholic Church, the Catholic Church, and the Swiss Reformed Church.

Catholic AnswerOther than normal use of a cross, or the sign of the cross during Mass and other Church services, the sign of the cross is only spelled out once in the baptismal rite: from The Catechism of the Catholic Church, second edition, English translation 19941235 The sign of the cross, on the threshold of the celebration, marks with the imprint of Christ the one who is going to belong to him and signifies the grace of the redemption Christ won for us by his cross.

The name "catholic" means universal, so the "catholic church" is all the believers in Christ all over the world. The organized church was more (or less) one church until the Eastern Orthodox church split from the Roman Catholic church, which was (and is) headquartered in Rome. At the time of the Protestant Reformation, the Protestant churches left the rule of the Roman Catholic church and formed their own denominations (such as Lutherans, Baptists, Presbyterians). Sometimes people use the term "catholic" when they really should use the term Roman Catholic, so things can get confused.
