{To those that think that Catholic is not mentioned in the Bible} Is the word Catholic in the Bible? QUOTE: Acts 9:31 (Greek Bible), ai men oun ekklēsiai kath olēs tēs ioudaias kai galilaias kai samareias eichon eirēnēn oikodomoumenai kai poreuomenai tō phobō tou kuriou kai tē paraklēsei tou agiou pneumatos eplēthunonto EKKLESIA KATHOLES. The term Catholic, derived from the Greek word καθολικός (katholikos), which means universal or general, was also used to describe the Church in the early 2nd century. The term katholikos is equivalent to καθόλου (katholou), a contraction of the phrase καθ ὅλου (kath holou) meaning according to the whole. Thus the full name Catholic Church roughly means universal or whole church. END QUOTE
