Roman Catholic AnswerBoth, actually. the Church, properly speaking, is "One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic". That is how it is described in the Creed. The "Catholic" part is just an adjective which means universal, and the "Roman" part is used as an adjective to say that it's head, Christ's vicar on earth is in Rome. So saying Roman Catholic Church would be the same as saying: "Christ's Universal Church who's vicar is in Rome".

What was the dispute that split the medieval Christian church?
The Catholic Church was split in 1054 in the East-West Schism, into the Roman Catholic Church, in the West, and the Eastern Orthodox Church. The reason for this split was a disagreement over what authority the pope had in eastern dioceses. Put simply, the Western Church held the pope was a ruling authority, but the Eastern Church would only accept the pope as a symbolic authority. You should remember that there were other Churches aside from the Catholic Church at the time, including the Oriental Orthodox, Coptic Orthodox, and others, so the entire Christian Church was not involved. There is a link below that you can use for more information. The most important dispute that split the Church was over the supremacy of the Pope, versus the independence of the bishops, particularly of the East. This produced the East-West Schism of 1054, which divided the largest body of the Church into the Roman Catholic Church, in the West, and the Eastern Orthodox Church, in the East. There is a link below.
What is the origin of the Catholic religion?
The Christian Church is thought to have started around 30-33 CE in the Near East, probably in Jerusalem.

We do not know the origin of this community but, at this stage, the Roman church was not yet separate from the Church of the east.The Catholic Church, as we know it today, originated from the Great Schism of 1054, when the Christian Church split to form the Catholic Church in the west and the Orthodox Church in the east.
