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.
