There actually is no Roman Catholic Church. The proper title of the denomination is Catholic Church--nothing more. The term Roman Catholic exists only in the English language. It appeared in the late 16th century and became common in the early the early 17th century alongside "Romish Catholic" "Popish Catholic." It was used by adherents of the Church of England. This Church saw itself as the Catholic Church in England and therefore the use of the term Catholic with reference to the opponents loyal to the pope had to by qualified to distinguish it from that of the English Church. At any rate, the Catholic Church is a Christian denomination claiming a descent from the apostle Peter
