Yeah, well, on an academic note, it depends on how you see those things. You mean 200 years after Nicea? Yeah, it wasn't 100 years before Rome collapsed. Many people think the height of ancient Catholicism was with Gregory the Great. I'm with them.

"Christian Church", is an expressly English phrase. Mainly because of the word "Church", which is an adaptation to the formal pagan gatherings of the ancient celts who were evangelized.

But the word "Christiani ecclesiam" from the latin, more accurately points to the gentile movement that errupted out of Antioch in the first century in Syria. This is where the first term of "catholiki" is used by St. Ignatius of Antioch.
