Catholicise is a verb that refers to the act of making something or someone more similar to the beliefs, practices, or traditions of the Catholic Church. Derived from the noun "Catholic," which refers to the worldwide Christian Church and its adherents, "catholicise" involves incorporating Catholic principles, customs, or rituals into a particular religious group, organization, or individual's worldview.
The term can also be used in a broader sense, unrelated to religion, to describe the process of making something more universal or inclusive. In this context, "catholicise" suggests expanding the scope, reach, or applicability of a concept, ideology, or movement, making it more all-encompassing or open to diverse perspectives.
To catholicise can involve various practices, such as adopting Catholic liturgical practices, sacraments, or the use of Latin in religious ceremonies. Additionally, it may entail embracing Catholic theological doctrines, teachings, or moral guidelines. The act of catholicising can also pertain to endeavors aimed at promoting interfaith dialogue, fostering ecumenism, or encouraging unity among different religious denominations.
While "catholicise" predominantly pertains to religious contexts, it can also be used figuratively to describe actions that attempt to make something more comprehensive, comprehensive, or inclusive. In this sense, it denotes a process of broadening horizons, embracing diversity, and creating a more all-encompassing perspective.
The word "catholicise" is derived from the noun "Catholic" and the suffix "-ise" (also spelled "-ize"), which often denotes the process or act of making something conform to a particular characteristic or ideology. "Catholic" comes from the Late Latin word "catholicus", which means "universal" or "general". It is ultimately derived from the Greek word "katholikos", meaning "general" or "whole". The word "catholicise" therefore means to make something conform to the beliefs, practices, or principles of Catholicism, or to bring something under the influence or control of the catholic or universal church.
