How does Roman Catholic Church fail to fulfill their purpose?
First off, 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. . Secondly, the Church's mission is to "continue the works of Jesus Christ" and to make his name "known and loved." As the Catholic Church is the Body of Christ, and as it was commissioned by Our Blessed Lord Himself, on the apostle Peter; further He send the Holy Spirit to guide the Church until the end of the world. Thus, it cannot fail in its mission, we as fallible human beings who make up the Church can impede or help this purpose either by following God and cooperating with His Will, or we can frustrate it to an extent through our personal sins. But the Church as such is divine and cannot fail of its purpose.

Does the Catholic Church approve of the use of battery operated candle?
No, the definition of candle is "a cylinder or block of wax or tallow with a central wick that is lit to produce light as it burns" and the Church stipulates that candles for the Mass must be at least 51% beeswax. Now, an appliance that is made to look like a candle (that you are calling a battery operated candle) is not a candle, not made from beeswax, and does not burn, so it cannot be used. Which, however, does not stop some pastors from installing these monstrosities.
