Catholic: All about the Catholic faith

/r/Catholic is a community of Christian disciples of Jesus. As Ignatius of Antioch wrote in 107 AD, “Wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church” (Letter to the Smyrnaeans). The word catholic originates from Greek and means “universal.” We strive to live up to the meaning of that word by fostering open, good-faith discussions, prayers, encouragement, and advice for all who find this corner of Reddit.
