Phillip' καθολικός simply means "universal, catholic." James and Jude are 
among "catholic" epistles, i.e., those not written to a particular church or 
individual. I suspect that the print editions of Strong's included it because 
it was a part of the title in some editions of the GNT, but the electronic 
editions only have what is in the body of the GNT.

Will check later for you to see if it's found in the LXX.
