Ignatius of Antioch
St. Ignatius of Antioch (born 38-50 AD, died 98-117 AD) is the earliest witness to the origins of our present use of the word "Catholic."
- He is also responsible for the first known use of the Greek word katholikos (καθολικός), meaning "universal", "complete" and "whole" to describe the church, writing:
- Wherever the bishop appears, there let the people be; as wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church. It is not lawful to baptize or give communion without the consent of the bishop. On the other hand, whatever has his approval is pleasing to God. Thus, whatever is done will be safe and valid. — Letter to the Smyrnaeans 8, J.R. Willis translation (circa 110 AD?).
