The Church and Her Fathers, Part 1: It's Called "The Church," So Say The Church (#370)

from Considering Catholicism · host Greg Smith

[DONATE WITH PAYPAL] In Part 1 of a four-part series called “The Church and Her Fathers,” Greg dives into a pet peeve: why evangelicals insist on calling early Christianity a “movement” instead of “the Church.” Tracing the term’s modern origins in missions and Reformation biases, he calls it infantile and passive-aggressive anti-Catholicism. With a strong biblical rebuttal, Greg shows how this language contradicts Scripture’s clear use of “church” and invites listeners to reconsider the visible, enduring body Christ founded.
