    The Catholic Church is called to be universal based on Scripture. As Acts 1:8 states, believers are called to be witnesses to the ends of the earth. The term "universal" means belonging to all - the Church belongs to and includes all people regardless of race, culture, ethnicity, or group. As followers of Christ, Christians have a mission to spread the Word to all people. The Church is catholic, or universal, because it includes everyone without discrimination, spreads throughout the world, heals spiritual and physical sickness, and possesses all virtues. The journeys of the Apostles show that in every place, Catholics can be found with God by their side.
