You'd have to think the word cathartic comes from the word Catholism.


As each of those words is a derivitive of the other so Christianity has many off shoots.

The Catholic church was born through the belief in Jesus Christ, Christianity was born.

The Church of England was born because a King wanted to divorce his wife, his Anglican Church evolved ( now there's a strange concept when discussing religion, evolution, but I digress ) and that evolution enabled others to self interpret Christianity which enabled them to spawn their own Christian religious beliefs.

Baptists, Protetants, Methodists, Presbyterians and even those Good Ole Boys from Texas who worship Jesus by praying with rattle snakes what they have in common is their individual beliefs would not be in existence had it not been for the Catholic Church.

The common denominator between all the Christian religions is they are not very Christian in their attitude to Christians who have different system of worship to themselves.

Individually, whether Christians are Catholics, schooled at home variety or belong to any of the local Christian Churches, there is just as much chance that they will have as many child abusers, wife beaters, cheats, liars and adulterers as any other religious group has.

Not every Catholic should be held responsible for the sins of their Church, it happens in every Church and it even happens in those lovely little homes with a white picket fence out front.

Catharsis (Ancient Greek: Κάθαρσις) is a Greek word meaning "purification", "cleansing" or "clarification."
