Note
The plural belongs only to the noun, the word for a member of a Catholic church. The adjective, meaning universal or all-encompassing, has no plural form at all. Keep the capital letter when you mean people. Lowercase catholic is the adjective, as in catholic tastes, describing something wide-ranging and all-embracing rather than anything to do with a church.
