In an aside in a book about the Knights Templars and Freemasonry by John J. Robinson’s ‘Born In Blood’ it is suggested that the words come from the ancient Greek meaning ‘kuklos’ or ‘circle’. I’ve heard a comment elsewhere that the words imitate the sounds of a repeating rifle being cocked–which seems unlikely as I believe repeating rifles may have been created long after the Klan was formed.

WHICH Pentecostal church? If it is the United Pentecostal denomination or a similar ‘Jesus Only’ type assembly, then the theolgy is very different: Catholics are trinitarian, UPC’s are ‘oneness’. Aside from this: Pentecostal churches are usually informal and non-liturgical and center around the ‘ministry of the Holy Spirit’ while Catholic churches are liturgical and centered around sacraments. The Catholic churches see themselves as ‘apostolic’ in the sense that they are ordained in a direct line all the way back to the original 12 Apostles; some pentecostal churches call themselves ‘Apostolics’ as well but they basically mean they are doing thing as they think the Apostles did them.

Evangelical Christians–who DO take the scriptures literally–explain that the human race–the only true ‘race’ the bible speaks of (Jews can belong to any of the so-called ‘races’)–is capable of great genetic variability. What we deem today as ‘races’ are physical traits that were favored in a given environment, as people-groups migrated into areas widely separated from each other. There has been speculation about the ‘race’ of the pre-Noahic people but we simply aren’t told anything one way or the other.
