A Name

The pope says that the first name of Catholics is, "I am a Christian," and the last name is, "I belong to the Church."  Interesting that he did not say, "Catholic" when he said the first name.  It is much more inclusive.  He did say "Catholic" Church.  He said, "Church."  This also is inclusive.  He is moving to a truer meaning of "catholic."  It is "universal," for the church is for everyone, not just the rule keepers who think sin is a matter of breaking some law.  I like the direction of this Pope of mine.
