What do we mean when we say “Christianity” and “Catholicism”?Catholics consider themselves Christian? Yes, they do. But Christianity and Catholicism are not the same.
Christianity, on the one hand, was founded not as an institution, forcing the Name and Teachings of Jesus Christ upon submitting subjects, but as a witness to Christ, lifting Him up before the world. Jesus said:
“And I, if I be lifted up from the Earth, will draw all men unto me” (Jn. 12:32).
It was Christ, not Christianity, who had the power to change lives.
