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.
There were several breakaway groups who left the Church in the sixteenth century beginning with Martin Luther and the princes in what is now northern Germany, and Henry VIII who took the whole country of England into apostasy.
