		The Armenian Church as it is constituted to-day is based on two main institutions, the position of the Katholikos and the influence of the laity in matters ecclesiastical.

	Where does the word Catholic come from?
		The word Catholic (katholikos from katholou -- throughout the whole, i.e., universal) occurs in the Greek classics, e.g., in Aristotle and Polybius, and was freely used by the earlier Christian writers in what we may call its primitive and non-ecclesiastical sense.
		The third mark of the Church is that she is Catholic, that is, universal; and justly is she called Catholic, because, as St. Augustine says, 'she is diffused by the splendour of one faith from the rising to the setting sun'.
		It was the name of the original Christian church and we can prove this from the writings of St. Ignatius of antioch, who was a close friend and disciple of St John (the last apostle to die, near the end of the 1st century).

	Russian Orthodox Church of Three Saints in Garfield, NJ
		Here we have the words to which the first translators would have had recourse in order to convey the word catholic, if they had wanted to give it the meaning universal ("ecumenical").
		It should be understood that I in no way reject the fact that the word katholikos (from kata and hola, with the word ethne understood, i.e., nations or some similar noun) may well have the meaning universal, but I contend that it was not understood in this context by the First Teachers of the Slavs.
		The thought never occurred to them to define the Church as geographic or ethnic, such a definition had no place in their theological system.

	We Believe in the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church
		The word "catholic" comes from the Greek word katholikos, which is a combination of the words kata (according to) and holos (the whole).
		Besides meaning, "according to the whole," katholikos has the common meaning of "universal" or "general." To be a Catholic Christian is to be a Christian according to the whole, to possess the fullness and completeness of Apostolic Faith and Praxis.
		In the early Church, "Catholic" designated a Christian who confessed the ancient faith, a Christian a part of the united and worldwide Church.

		You will never imagine in your wildest dreams how many lives you are touching.
		THE original meaning of the Greek word Katholikos wasn't "general" or "universal"; "Catholic" comes from the Greek words kata ("according to") and holon ("the whole").
		When Ignatius of Antioch used the term in his letter to the Church at Smyrna around the turn of the first century, he must have used it to refer to a local church that was acting "according to the whole" Church, as opposed to the heterodox he was condemning.
