Where did the name of the 'Roman Catholic Church' come from?

== The name "Roman Catholic Church" entered use after the Protestant Reformation. The term is used in English speaking countries; with the advent of Anglicanism, as well as other denominations that began making English converts, there began a dispute over what group had claim over the official title of "The Church". To distinguish it from themselves, the Anglicans began to call it the Roman Catholic Church to signify its nature, having its head in Rome (the pope) and invoking its unofficial title of being "Catholic" or universal. Over time this title has organically grown into modern usage, however, only among English speakers. The "Roman Catholic" Church continues to refer to itself simply as "The Church" in all its official documents.

May a church title itself Catholic and not be a Roman Catholic Church?

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.

How does an angel become a saint?

By the strict definition of the church angels cannot become declared saints. Nowhere in the Bible does it call an angel a saint.Roman Catholics, however, often refer to Michael as "Saint Michael" but this title does not indicate canonization as it would a person.Archangel Michael s generally referred to in Christian litanies as "Saint Michael", as in the Litany of the Saints.Catholic AnswerThe title "saint" in the Catholic Church just indicates that someone is in heaven. The good angels have always been in heaven and thus the title "saint" applies to them. The Catholic Church, which wrote the Bible, is the same Church that applies the title to anyone in heaven.
