Meanings of words evolve. They're refering to the belief system rather than to the original meaning and ethymology. But when you know it does sound funny.

Yeah it's just the Catholics, with their belief in universal authority of the Pope, actually still embody that original etymology. And if there's one group that gets hung up on the original meaning of words in other languages it's theologians. Well, at least non evangelical theologians. Evangelicals like to invent meaning and declare the king James bible divinely inspired so who knows what's going through their minds half the time.
