Actually, there is no Roman Catholic Church. 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..That being said, the answer to your question is the Catholic Church's role in "all of this" is everything. God spoke and created the world (read Genesis 1:3) and His Word is Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ (read John 1:1-3). Now, the Catholic Church IS Jesus Christ, (read Acts 9:1-5, 1 Cor 12:12-14)..So the short answer to your question is that the Catholic Church's role is EVERYTHING, it is the only meaning that anyone's life in this world has, and without the Catholic Church - which is the Word of God: Jesus Christ's mystical Body - then nothing has any meaning.

The Roman Catholic Church is always a background presence in Romeo and Juliet. Friar Lawrence, a main character, is a priest. The church is there to marry Romeo and Juliet and to bury Juliet. Juliet uses a request to go to confession as an excuse to see Friar Lawrence. But the characters do not refer to the church or its teachings in working out their problems. The church is a part of their lifestyle, but not a guiding force in their lives.
