The word "catholic" means universal, so whenever you call it the Catholic Church you are admitting that it is the Universal Church.

Right.
And Burger King is really the king of burgers.
Empire carpets has a real empire.
Uniroyal tires is real royalty.
Royal Caribbean is really the royalty of the Caribbean
The only thing I have to admit is the Catholic church learned how to advertise early on.
The Catholic church is corrupt.

it is true that catholic means universal but as far as joining the church lud, i cannot. nothing will move me to join a catholic church. i am sure out of the 1 billion or whatever the number is in the church there are many who are sincere in there walk maybe even better then i have been. i cannot join because one the sabbath, i would have to go on sunday, two, i do not believe in purgatory, three, i do not believe in praying to mary, four, i do not agree with how they partake in communion service, five, i do not believe in going to confession to a priest

Confession is wonderful for spiritual growth. Communion is Jesus'beautiful wonderful hidden way to be with us until He returns visibly in glory. Mary, far from being Jesus' competitor, complements Jesus. Jesus and Mary are not like Letterman and Leno, competitors. They are like Carson and McMahon, on the same team. Matthew 16:19 gives the Church the authority to change the day of rest and worship, so long as there is one day a week for rest and worship.
