May a church title itself Catholic and not be a Roman Catholic Church?
Unfortunately, the Church has little control over the name Catholic and it is hijacked all the time by groups that are NOT in union with Rome and, therefore, not truly Catholic. A few examples: The American Catholic Church, The American Charismatic Catholic Church, the Polish National Catholic Church. Calling oneself something does not make it so.

Most likely yes cause his mother was a Catholic and was raised that way. It has been claimed that he stated to be a Catholic but he played little to no part in supporting churches.

The Catholic Challenge?

How has the decline of the roman empire help the rise of the Catholic church?
The Roman Empire persecuted the Catholic church. When the Roman empire began it's downfall, the Catholic church began to gain more and more power. When the Roman empire finally fell, the Catholic church was the most powerful figure around. Many people seeked help from the church. Monks and Nuns educated the children and poor, hungry people were fed. Just a little clarification. During the Roman empire there was no such thing as the Catholic Church. The religion was simply Christianity. Although initially there were many sects of Christianity, they finally united. It was not until the Protestant Revolt begun by Martin Luther that the denominations of Christianity came into existence, Catholic being one of them.

What are the Egyptian Coptic Church's relations with Roman Catholic Church?
Yes. The Coptic Catholic Church broke away with the Coptic Orthodox Church to come into full communion with the Catholic Church. This occurred around 1741 under the direction of a Coptic bishop named Amba Athanasius. Athanasius converted to Catholicism with about 2,000 Coptics. Although Althanasius converted back to the Coptic Orthodox Church, most of the people remained and grew into what is now the Coptic Catholic Church. It's important to note that the Coptic Catholic Church is not an independent Church, but a rite under the Catholic Church. The differences between rites are purely cultural, NOT doctrinal. So even though different rites in the Catholic Church may celebrate mass a little differently, they all believe in the same teachings of the Catholic Church and remain loyal to the Pope.
What religion was a medieval priest?
"Medieval" refers to a period of European history which might begin from 500 AD to 1100 AD and end 1350 AD to 1500 AD. During this time there was little concern about religion. Everybody claimed to be a "son of the church" even though there were a lot of churches. They were all Catholic, which didn't mean much because the Catholic Church simply absorbed local religions with little or no change. So there is no straight answer to your question.
