I am guessing that your comment that ...Dean James,<br /><br />I am guessing that your comment that one must "become a Catholic to see why" means that one must become a "Roman Catholic". The use of the description "Catholic" in this article describes the Church before the Great Schism, before the Roman Catholic (Western) Church assumed the identity and unilateral authority over the rest of the Catholic Church. That presumption has not existed throughout the entire history of the Church. If your identity as a Catholic is invested in the papacy, then I suppose it would be impossible to view Orthodox and Anglicans as Catholics. My identity as a Catholic is invested in Apostolic Succession: I can trace my Orders all the way back to the Church in Ephesus. Hopefully, the greatest value that we share is our faith in Christ. I understand being proud of the Church in Rome. It has a great history, but it is not the only Church of the Apostles.Fr Van McCalisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02791926496944058482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5222318303736141895.post-46344762135307278842013-05-16T04:00:38.148-07:002013-05-16T04:00:38.148-07:00No, it is not Catholic.

So, I was writing from my faulty memory. I'll revise the article.
