Make room for
everyone
Catholics can take pride in the fact that the word
catholic comes from the Greek katholikos meaning
universal, complete, whole. Saint Ignatius gave us the first example of the
word’s use way back in the year 107 when he wrote in a Letter to the
Smyrnaeans, “. . . wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic
Church.” We have a 1,900-year legacy of being an inclusive people, of
making room for one and all. Now more than ever, in this age of strife and
division, let’s affirm our catholic tradition.
