Catholicity

• Jul, 12 2025

What happens when the church forgets that “catholic” once meant more than a label—it meant universal jurisdiction under Christ the King? In this episode, we trace the explosive history of that little word, “catholic,” and why its meaning was—and still is—a direct challenge to every empire, ideology, and government that claims total authority. From Rome’s clash with the early church to today’s statist demands for allegiance, we explore how the church’s bold claim—Jesus Christ is Lord—once shook the world and why it must again. This isn’t about tradition; it’s about whose kingdom you really live in.
