One of the earliest written uses of the term Catholic comes from St. Ignatius of Antioch in 110 A.D, only a few decades after the Gospel of John (ca. 90 A.D.) was written. For example, St. Ignatius wrote
Let no one do anything of concern to the Church without the bishop. Let that be considered a valid Eucharist which is celebrated by the bishop or by one whom he ordains [i.e., a presbyter]. Wherever the bishop appears, let the people be there; just as wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the CatholicChurch. (Letter to the Smyrneans, ch. 8)
This does not preclude the possibility that there may have been earlier written texts with the term Catholic but which are no longer existing today.
It is also not unreasonable to speculate that the term Catholic was being used prior to 110 A.D. in spoken language, and then gradually became incorporated into written language.
