Summary/Abstract: This article describes how are used the expressions not very Orthodox and not very Catholic according the religion of speakers. Originally these expressions had no religious significance and were related to lat. ortodoxus of gr. oρθόδξος (όρθός "just, fair, rational" and δόξα "opinion, faith"); lat. catolicus of gr. καθλικός "generally universal." By analogy, expression not kosher has been associated with the Jewish religion.
