Roman Catholicism  

Définition

  • Led by the pope, the bishop of Rome, Roman Catholicism is the faith of nine hundred million people, making it by far the largest church body within Christianity and putting it on a scale similar to that of Islam and Hinduism among the world’s major religions. Whatever Catholics may affirm about the church’s immunity to substantive historical change, there is such a thing as modern Roman Catholicism.
