Catholic (from Greek: 'universal') was first used to describe the church in the early 2nd century.  The 1st known use of the phrase "the Catholic Church” occurred in the letter written about 110 AD from Saint Ignatius of Antioch.

The Roman Pope, who is the Bishop of Rome, is the chief pastor of the church.

As the world's oldest and largest continuously functioning international institution, it has played a prominent role in the history and development of Western civilisation.
