Catholic is an adjective derived from the Greek
adjective καθολικός (katholikos), meaning "whole"
or "complete".In the context of Christian
ecclesiology, it has a rich history and several
usages. For Roman Catholics, the term "Catholic
Church" refers to the Church, both Western and
Eastern, in full communion with the Bishop of
Rome. Protestants use it to refer to the entire
body of believers in Jesus Christ. Catholicity is
one of Four Marks of the Church, the others being
unity, sanctity, and apostolicity. According to the
Nicene Creed of 381: "I believe in one holy
catholic and apostolic Church."
