The Saudi Communication and Information Technology Commission has objected to the various .catholic applications on the grounds that “Many other Christians use the term 'Catholic' to refer more broadly to the whole Christian Church regardless of denominational affiliation,” and “Other Christian communions lay claim to the term "Catholic" such as the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Oriental Orthodox Church.”<ref>[http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/news/9475190/Saudis-attempt-to-block-Vatican-plan-for-.catholic-web-addresses.html Saudis Attempt to block Vatican Plan for .Catholic Web Addresses, Telegraph.co.uk]</ref>

===Independent Objector===
The [[Independent Objector]] (IO) is a non-partisan, contracted appointee whose role was mandated by the applicant guidebook for [[ICANN]]'s [[New gTLD Program]], and who is responsible for officially objecting to new gTLDs that are dangerous to the public good. This process also involves reviewing "controversial applications," those that have received significant public comments, and investigating whether a public need for objection is provided for tin these comments. Thus, the Independent Objector issued a preliminary report on .catholic, noting that most objections raise the issue that the Roman Catholic Church does not control and represent all uses and identifications with the term "catholic." The IO goes on to way the importance of religious freedom but concludes that the applicant represents the large majority of Catholics and that the applicant is in a position to run the TLD as it has applied for it.<ref>[http://www.independent-objector-newgtlds.org/english-version/the-independent-objector-s-comments-on-controversial-applications/catholic-general-comment/ Catholic General Comment, Independent-Objector-NewgTLDs.org] Retrieved 5 Mar 2013</ref>
