text: Some comedian, George Carlin I think, once said "there is only one 'The Church'."  He meant the Catholic Church.  People consider the Catholic Church public in a manner they just don't consider, for instance, the Episcopalians or the Baptists.  \n\nYet even atheists are potential Catholics.  Perhaps their complaints are a sign they instinctively recognize that the Catholic Church is indeed the true Church of God.  The Catholic Church is theirs, too, even as they reject Her.\n\nConsider it a backhanded compliment.
