The Universal Life Church World Headquarters is considered a Non-Denominational, Independent Catholic, Christian Church. There explanation for categorization as all three is the world universal is derived from the Greek adjective katholikos, universal is defined catholic with a small c and catholic is defined Christian. Wherefore Christian, Catholic and Universal are a synonymous trilogy of words that from a Religious prospective is defined as the one Church of Jesus Christ.

One of these developments is surrounding the resignation of their Pope and claims of the next Pope perhaps being the last Pope by some outside of the Church. In a joint statement regarding such concerns the Universal Life Church World Headquarters and the Roman Catholic Church issued a joint statement as follows:
