Catholic-->Universal

Hello ladies and gentlemen. Today we will finally be talking about a topic. Today's topic will relate to the "Catholic" part of One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic. Catholic means universal. This is a very important definition to know and understand if your are a Catholic. Most teens, including myself, may not accept everybody, or may think some people are wrong and bad because they do this. As a Catholic Church our Church is universal-meaning that it is the whole world. Catholicism is everywhere. In every part of the globe. One thing teens may struggle on is do Catholics let anyone just come into their religion and get converted even if they were something completely opposite or did something really terrible. The answer to the question is yes. As seen in the early history of the Church, after the death of Jesus the Apostle must make a decision on whether or not non Jews can become Catholics. The first convert to Catholicism happens to be an Ethiopian man, and he is a eunuch. This first act of letting someone into the Church exercises the authority the Church has. If anyone in today's world felt the grace of God one day and decided they wanted to become Catholics, then by gosh they could do it. Catholicism welcomes everyone into their religion if they accept Jesus and all that he teaches.

Have a good day and thanks for reading--the Mad Hatter
