What does Catholic actually mean?
In this episode, Fr. Nathan Symeon unpacks the deep spirituality of the "Katholikos" — the ancient word we now call Catholic. Far more than just “universal” in the geographic sense, Catholic means “according to the whole” — a divine mystery of unity through diversity, made visible in the Body of Christ.
Fr. Nathan explores:
The original meaning of katholikos in the early Church
St. Ignatius of Antioch’s first use of the word “Catholic”
The bishop as the one who makes present the Eucharistic Christ
How the Eucharist, Baptism, and the Holy Spirit make us true members of the Church
St. Paul’s vision of the Church as one Body with many parts
The insight of Henri de Lubac: “If Christ is the sacrament of God, then the Church is the sacrament of Christ”
Rooted in Scripture, the Fathers, and the sacramental life, this is not just a lesson in theology — it’s a call to live fully as members of Christ’s Body.
Glory to Jesus Christ.
