What does it mean to be catholic? Jesus gave the best definition of the term when he said: “In my Father’s house there are many rooms.”16 This is not a description of a certain geography in heaven but a revelation of the breadth of God’s heart. The bosom of God is not a ghetto. God has a catholic heart—in that catholic means universal, wide, all-encompassing. The opposite of a catholic is a fundamentalist, a person who has a heart with one room.
