"Ecologically catholic"?

Hello! I wonder about that expression "ecologically catholic", that appears at the beginning of the "Vocal dialects" section. What does that mean? I have tried to find a meaning to "catholic" in biology and cannot locate any.

The rufous-collared sparrow (Zonotrichia capensis), also known as the Andean sparrow, is a species of New World sparrow found in a wide range of habitats, often near humans, from the extreme south-east of Mexico to Tierra del Fuego and the Caribbean. This sparrow of the subspecies Z. c. costaricensis was photographed in the Mount Totumas cloud forest in Panama.
