ROMAN CATHOLIC AND CATHOLIC _ [To the Editor of THE
SPECTATOR.]
SIR,—I wish you would instruct your special correspondent to be more accurate in his description of the different churches. In a very interesting article on Jugoslavia and the Concordat he writes of the Catholic Church when he should write of the Roman Catholic Church. He surely must know that the Orthodox Church of the East is part of the Catholic Church. It gives such a wrong impression to be inaccurate, The world- wide or Catholic Church cannot be restricted to the Roman Church : it embraces Anglican, Orthodox, and all those who believe in the Lord Jesus.—Yours faithfully, [Our correspondent did in fact write of " the Roman Catholic Church " in his first sentence. That being so, the use of " Catholic for the sake of brevity in subsequent references could hardly give rise to misunderstanding.—En. The Spectator.]
