Explain the conflict in the early Church that led to the teaching that the Church is catholic.
The conflict in the early Church centered around whether Gentiles had to become Jewish and follow the Mosaic law before they could be baptized as Christians. Some converted Jews argued that they should, whereas Paul, Barnabas, Peter, and James argued that they need not. The decision was reached at the council of Jerusalem that Gentiles could become Christians without first becoming Jews.
