Catholicism
Definition
- Catholicism is a Christian religious tradition that has as its central belief that Jesus Christ is both God and man; that he is the Son of God and freely chose to become man to be the Savior of humankind. Catholicism dates back to the time of Christ, and early Church records show the use of the term Catholicism in 2 AD. Consistent with Protestant Christian denominations, those who profess this faith, Catholics, are monotheistic (believe in one God) but also believe in the Holy Trinity (there is only one God, but He is made up of three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit).
