- That is because they are Catholic--not in the Roman sense--but in the
- original definition of the Greek word. Kathelos means universal. One
- is Catholic if one believes what all Christians have always believed, at
- all times, and in all places. If one *dogmatically* holds to western
- dispensationalist interpretations of the Biblical text, one contradicts the
- vast majority of Church history.
