What is the golden rule of the roman catholic church ?
The pope does not rule the world. He is the head of the Roman Catholic Church and his ecclesiastical jurisdiction encompasses what is often called the "Holy See".
Roman Catholic AnswerJesus Christ was - and is - head of the Catholic Church. He send His Holy Spirit to be with it and guide it until the end of the world and he appointed Peter as His first Vicar to rule over it as His representative on earth.
The name "catholic" means universal, so the "catholic church" is all the believers in Christ all over the world. The organized church was more (or less) one church until the Eastern Orthodox church split from the Roman Catholic church, which was (and is) headquartered in Rome. At the time of the Protestant Reformation, the Protestant churches left the rule of the Roman Catholic church and formed their own denominations (such as Lutherans, Baptists, Presbyterians). Sometimes people use the term "catholic" when they really should use the term Roman Catholic, so things can get confused.
Catholicism. Obedience to the Roman Catholic Church.
Roman Catholic AnswerYes, of course, the Roman Catholic Church is the Church that was founded by Jesus Christ who sent the Holy Spirit at Pentecost to be with it and guide it in all truth until the end of time. He appointed Peter as the His first Vicar on earth (the first Pope) and he and his successors will rule the Church of Christ until Jesus returns. Jesus guaranteed that His Church would remain One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic. The use of the word, Christian, to refer to practically anyone and anything these days is to be deplored. The use of the word, Christian, to exclude the Catholic Christian Church is either hubris or ignorance.

It's just Catholic, not Roman Catholic. Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the official Catholic Church. And you are probably thinking of Catholic Sisters, who taught in schools and worked in hospitals. Nuns were enclosed in monasteries and did not normally travel. Sisters did not travel alone, but normally were required by their rule to always travel in pairs.

Yes Prince William is a Christian. William is a member of the Church of England which is a type of Protestantism. The last Roman Catholic King of England was James II in 1685. After that there is a rule saying that no Roman Catholic can become King or Queen of England.

Roman Catholic AnswerThe Catholic Church, at most, could be said to have rule a fair portion of Italy for hundreds of years for the simple reason that the Roman government fell and left no one in charge to provide for the upkeep of the sewers. Outside of the papal states, though, the Church never ruled most of Europe, or even large portions of it. However, since nearly all of the European Kings and Princes were Catholic, at least up until the 16th century, they were educated and brought up with Christian values, and rightly deferred to the Church in spiritual matters. But the Church never "ruled most of Europe for hundreds of years."
