A catholic podcast, not Catholic

Sorry for not posting any podcasts lately. I have had a very sore throat and it has cut into my talking and podcasting. In addition my girlfriend and I are moving to Ohio so I have had a few distractions as well.

Today’s word is catholic. I am sure many of us know Catholicism is a major world religion that just chose a new leader. But catholic is also an adjective that describes something universal or comprehensive in scope, something that included all of mankind.

Catholic can also describe someone or something that is broad or liberal minded. Although be careful using the definition most people only know a catholic as a member of the Catholic church.

The word catholic has evolved from the Greek katholikos meaning universal to Latin to Old French to Middle English to our current spelling, pronunciation and meanings.
