St. Ignatius of Antioch was a student of the Apostle John. He was arrested and sent to Rome to be eaten by lions.

On the way, he wrote seven letters. In 107 AD, within living memory of the Apostles, he wrote:

“Where the bishop is, there let the multitude of believers be; even as where Jesus is, there is the Catholic Church.” (Letter to the Smyrnaeans, 8:2)

This is the first recorded use of the term “Catholic Church” and it comes from a man who personally knew the Apostle who leaned on Jesus’ chest at the Last Supper.

He also wrote:

“Take note of those who hold heterodox opinions… They abstain from the Eucharist and from prayer, because they do not confess that the Eucharist is the flesh of our Savior Jesus Christ.”

Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist. The Catholic Church by name. Obedience to bishops in apostolic succession.

107 AD. Not the Council of Trent. Not the Middle Ages.

The next time someone tells you the Catholic Church invented these doctrines centuries later, show them Ignatius.

He wrote this on the way to die for it.

@BGatesIsaPyscho Obviously AI but while not very aerodynamic, that front section could hold the battery/CPU powering engines at the front wheels (that steer) and rear axles. Improbable not impossible.

I kiss my wife every time. I also kiss my Mother when she is present. You know these gotcha Catholic videos you and @BreeSolstad post seem more like the worship of social media engagement rather than showing positive exposure of the faith. I suggest you speak to your priests about this. That is, if you're really Catholic at all..
