Catholic, not "Catholic Christian"

  Another sign of Catholic abnegation in contemporary discourse is the use of the term, among Catholics, of "Catholic Christian". Militant Protestants, "biblical" Protestants, fundamentalists and evangelicals, have come to define the word "Christian" and Catholics sheepishly began calling themselves "Catholic Christians", ceding it to the enemies of the Faith. One finds it, absurdly, used by notable Catholic preachers in the US, and, of course, among ecumenists.

   We need to call ourselves Catholic only, and vigorously, but not rudely or arrogantly, and we must make it clear that what is called "Christian" now is foreign to Christ, that it harms rather than helps souls on their way to God, that the 'Christians' only reflect rays of the sun of grace and have no source of light within their churches.
