Judean miracles?

Question

Why do they call it the Roman catholic church if all these alleged miracles supposedly occured in Judea?

Answer 1

Jesus never started a Church. He never attended a Church. He was Jewish. I cannot fathom how Catholics have their thinking like they do.

Answer 2

Catholic means universal the part of the church in Rome is considered the Roman Catholic Church. The Catholic Church includes the Orthodox Churches as well. The Roman Catholic Church was (like the Orthodox Chruches) by the Apostles and their followers that left Judea to spread the word they went all directions. In Rome originally it was a frowned upon cult, they feed the Christians to the lions in gladiator fights and quite a few Martyrs died for the profession of faith and not worshipping Ceaser. Constantine converted to Christianity after seeing a vision in the sky before a battle and he became baptized etc.. The conversion lead to him to try to stop the scqwibbling amoung the churches so a uniform bible was pulled together in a council of church leaders, books like the gnostic gospels were thrown out and a bible was 'official'. The Copic Catholic Christians never left the Holy land. Which was part of the Roman empire. The early church which was perscuted ended up being the offical one that stands to this day. Now I imagine the Greek Orthodox may have a differenmt view here but at that time it was the Universal Church. Later divisons came with the fall of the Roman empire and diagreements on doctrine some of which last to this day we are not all in full communion with each other. The miracles in Judea caused devout Jews that followed Jesus and witnessed his risening to risk being outcasts by spreading the faith or good news which they were and they left Judea spreading the word of Jesus Christ in their wake. The early church had multiple outposts one being in Rome. Which is now called the Roman Catholic Church founded by the Apostle Peter.

Answer 3

Well, lots of miracles have occurred outside of Judea. Catholic means 'universal.' 'Roman' comes from the fact that as the early Church grew, it eventually became centered there. The term is also used to distinguish it from the Greek Orthodox Catholic Church.

Answer 4

It is called the Catholic Church.

The Roman Catholic Church is typically what Protestants call the Catholic Church. This however is in correct. The Roman Catholic Church is that Church who's patriarch is the Bishop of Rome.

Each Church is governed by a patriarch. These patriarch are a part of the Catholic Church when they are in communion with with the patriarch of Rome, who sits in Peter's Chair.

Because Rome is where the Catholic Church started; The Romans started it.

Answer 6

It's called the Roman Catholic Church because the Romans are the ones who converted to Christianity. How many Romans do you think were willing to undergo circumcision to become Jews?

Constantine established the Christian faith as "The Religion", he was emperor of Rome
