Best Answer

Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is rarely used by the Catholic Church. It was first used in a widespread manner after the protestant revolt in the sixteenth century in England. Byzantine Catholic is a common term for Eastern Orthodox, who broke from the Church in the 11th century. Thus Byzantine would be older. However, if you are asking if Catholic or Byzantine is older, then Catholicism started in the first century when Our Blessed Lord commissioned St. Peter as the first pope (see St. Matthew 16:17-19), so that was eleven centuries before the Byzantine Church broke away.
