It's just Catholic, not Roman Catholic. Roman Catholic is a slur that was started in England after the protestant revolt, it is meaningless in the Catholic Church unless you are referring to the Latin Rite, which is properly called the Latin Rite, not the Roman Rite. There are no vows that every Catholic makes, every Catholic makes promises when he is baptized, or they are made in his name if he is under age. The only vows, properly so called, are the vows of religious. There are three made by monastics: conversatio morum (roughly conversion of manners), stability, and obedience. There are three made by religious that are not monastics: poverty, chastity, and obedience (known as the evangelical counsels).
