There is really no "Roman Catholic Church", although that name, in English, usually refers to the Catholic Church. It came into popular usage in England following the protestant revolt, and has become widespread in its usage especially in protestant and secular English speaking countries. It is rarely used in the Catholic Church and never in official documents.
