Scenarios about 'catholic'
Catholicism is a major branch of Christianity headed by the Bishop of Rome (the Pope) with approximately 1.3 billion adherents worldwide. Throughout history, the Catholic Church has profoundly influenced Western civilization through its theological doctrines, educational institutions, political involvement, and cultural contributions.
