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.
In 1992, the Holy Father, Pope John Paul II, told a Vatican Science Panel that the Church was wrong to condemn Galileo in 1633 for saying that the Earth revolved around the sun. He said that theologians at that time did not recognize the difference between The Bible and its interpretation.
