Catholic AnswerFor the most part, the Catholic Church does not concern itself with the rulers and laws of countries, the Church is not a political organization, as Our Blessed Lord, Himself, said, "Render therefore to Caesar that things that are Caesar's and to God the things that are God's" (St. Mark 12:17a) They have their realm, and the Church has its own realm. It will instruct people to comply with their government in all just laws, and to vehemently protest - going to jail if necessary - any unjust law, such as the health care bill in the United States that is attempted to force Catholics to support abortion and contraception.

The word 'catholic' means 'universal', so the catholic church (catholic with a small 'c') means the universal church of Jesus Christ - ie all Christian churches throughout the world, including protestant churches like Methodists, Baptists, Pentecostals, Anglicans and so on.However, the Roman Catholic Church is so called because it has its base in Rome, Italy, in the independent state (the smallest country in the world) within Rome called the Vatican City. The Pope, who is the leader of the world's Roman Catholics, lives at the Vatican City, so as this is in Rome, this particular branch of the universal/catholic Church is called the Roman Catholic Church (Catholic now with a capital 'C') because of its roots being in Rome..Catholic AnswerIt'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.
