Where is the Roman Catholic religion mentioned in the Bible?

Answer 1

.

Catholic AnswerThe Roman Catholic religion is not mentioned in The Bible for several reasons. First of all, there officially is no such thing as the "Roman Catholic religion." You are asking about the Catholic Church and it never uses the epithet "Roman." That appelation was first commonly used by the English after the protestant revolt in that country.

.

Secondly, the Bible (New Testament) was written by the Catholic Church in the first century of its existence, as part of its preaching, it is a reflection of the Sacred Tradition handed down to it by Our Blessed Lord and the Apostles.

.

Thirdly, the Bible wasn't put together as we have it now until the Councils of Carthage in 297 and 419 A.D., the list of the Canon of Scripture was officially promulagated by Pope Damasus I at the Council of Rome in 382, and dogmatically stated - infallibly, by the Council of Trent in the sixteenth century.

.

In other words, the Catholic Church, which is the Catholic religion (referred to as some as the "Roman Catholic religion" actually wrote the New Testament and decided on the Canon of it, thus it is referred to in the New Testament just as "the Church."
