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, thus there really is not "Roman Catholic Church".
The Catholic Church is composed of thousands of what is known as particular Churches. Each diocese is a particular Church headed by a Bishop, who is a successor of the apostles. Each diocese is autonomous to a large extend and no one outside of a diocese can over-rule its bishop. The Pope in Rome is the Bishop of Rome. He also enjoys the primacy or Vicar of Christ, and thus represents Jesus Christ on earth. It is the Pope who appoints the individual Bishops who rule each diocese. And the Pope who is the interpreter of last resort - so to speak - of the Gospel and the meaning of the various dogmas and doctrines. Thus the government of the Catholic Church consists of the pastor over an individual parish, the pastor is the representative of the Bishop for the Church. He reports to his Bishop. The Bishops act in concert with the Pope for any major decision for the entire Church, but all would be subject to him, as his word is the word of Christ on matters of faith and morals.

Is the Roman Catholic an Anglican church?
First allow me to point out: 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. Second, the Catholic Church has been around since 33 A.D., and was formed by Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ on St. Peter (see Matthew 16:17-19). The Anglican Church was formed out of nothing by Henry VIII in the 16th century when he wanted a divorce from his wife and the Church would not grant him one, so he took his entire nation out of the Church and formed the Anglican Church for the sole purpose of giving him a divorce, and making him head of the Church. So, no, the Catholic Church is most definitely not an Anglican Church.
Where did the Catholics religion come from?
The Roman Catholic Religion originally came from Judaism. All the founding members of the Church were Jews. Our Blessed Lord, Himself, was a Jew, and His apostles were all Jews. The "Roman" part of it comes from the fact that the first Pope, Peter, went to Rome, which was the center of the civilized world at that point in history, and the Church has spread out from Rome to cover the world. "Roman" is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the Catholic Church.
I was baptized a Roman Catholic but confirmed Orthodox and I married a Greek Orthodox can I have my nephew baptized in a Catholic Church?
Since you are confirmed Orthodox and married a Greek Orthodox, the Orthodox Church requires that any children you may have should be baptized Orthodox. Also, as an Orthodox, you are not allowed to baptize your nephew or any other person in a catholic church. From the Catholic point of view, unless your nephew is to be reared a Catholic, he may not be baptized in the Catholic Church. If he is to be reared Catholic, either by his parents or godparents, the Church will receive him. No you are GREEK orthodox u must not I reapeat not baptisma your child at a catholic church.

What are the similarities between the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Roman Catholic Church?
First of all, you have to define things. There are two kinds of eastern churches; or you could just as well say there are two kinds of Catholic churches. The Eastern churches are:Eastern Catholic rites (Byzantine, Maronite, e.g.)Eastern Orthodox ChurchOr you could say the Catholic Church comprises: Western Catholic rites (Roman [or Latin], e.g.)Eastern Catholic rites (Byzantine, Maronite, e.g.)Depending upon how they are defined, the Catholic Church has over 20 different rites. The largest, by far, of all rites is the (Western) Roman rite. The largest Eastern rite is the Byzantine. Technically, it is incorrect to refer to all of Catholicism as Roman Catholicism. However, since the headquarters of all of Catholicism is in Rome, in that geographical senseit is correct, but doesn't make much sense to say so, since there isn't any other Catholicism. As to similarities and differences, that question has been answered elsewhere. But as a generalization you could say that Eastern Churches seem more alike on the surface (appearance, traditions, etc.), but that Western and Eastern Catholic rites are more like each other in the deeper sense (doctrine).
