The Catholic Church had a significant interest in the indigenous peoples in Spain's American Empire as they saw them as potential converts to Christianity. The Church aimed to spread the Catholic faith and establish missions to educate and convert the indigenous populations, often with the support of the Spanish crown. However, this also led to the exploitation and mistreatment of indigenous peoples in the name of religious conversion and colonization.
There is an Orthodox Church and a Catholic Church. There is no Catholic Orthodox Church.
American Catholic Church - Vilatte - was created in 1915.
Old Roman Catholic Church in North America was created in 1911.
Unfortunately, the Church has little control over the name Catholic and it is hijacked all the time by groups that are NOT in union with Rome and, therefore, not truly Catholic. A few examples: The American Catholic Church, The American Charismatic Catholic Church, the Polish National Catholic Church. Calling oneself something does not make it so.
Yes, in that they both originated with the Catholic Church, went into schism, while retaining valid Orders and valid sacraments: to that extent they are alike, although the American Catholic Church, which is derived from the Old Catholic Church, a schismatic group that went into schism after the First Vatican Council, is not in communion with the Catholic Church nor the Orthodox Church. The American Catholic Church is in communion with the Anglican Church meaning, when all is said and done, they are yet another protestant church, while the Russian Orthodox remains Catholic to a degree.
A mission
I presume you are talking about the 'Roman Catholic Church' made up of congregations entirely in union with the pope. There are thousands of Catholic parishes in California. There are a number of churches that call themselves Catholic but that are not - The American Catholic Church, The American Charismatic Catholic Church, for example, which do not recognize the pope as the leader of the Church.
For the most part the Catholic Church was a postive influence on the First Nation peoples, it was almost diametrically opposed to the protestant treatment of native American Indians. The Catholic Church fought for their rights, fought for health care for them, etc. There were some converts among the First nation people including our first native American saint - St. Kateri Tekakwitha.
It is accepted by the Catholic Church, yes.
The Catholic Church regulated interest charged by pawn shops, but was never in the money lending business.

there is none. they are are the same thing. The catholic church in America isn't called the American catholic church, it is still called the roman catholic church because it originated in rome and the pope lives there. However, when the term "American Catholic Church" is used, it also denotes various other Churches, that call themselves Catholic but are not under the Jurisdiction of the Roman Catholic Church, of whose Hierarchical structure is headed by the "Pope", also known as The Bishop of Rome, Patriarch of the West, or First among Equals. So, therefore, they may resemble the true Catholic Church but are not fully Catholic.
