It's just Catholic, not Roman Catholic. Roman Catholic is a slur that was started in England after the protestant revolt, it is meaningless in the Catholic Church unless you are referring to the Latin Rite, which is properly called the Latin Rite, not the Roman Rite. There are no vows that every Catholic makes, every Catholic makes promises when he is baptized, or they are made in his name if he is under age. The only vows, properly so called, are the vows of religious. There are three made by monastics: conversatio morum (roughly conversion of manners), stability, and obedience. There are three made by religious that are not monastics: poverty, chastity, and obedience (known as the evangelical counsels).

The pope takes no vows beyond what he took as a priest - chastity and obedience. Add to that poverty if he belonged to a religious order.

When does a priest take his vows what is the ceremony called?

There is no such ceremony for priests. Priests, as such, do not take "vows", they make a promise of obedience to their bishop at their ordination and the obligation to celibacy is imposed by Canon Law. The only ones who take vows, as such are solemnly professed religious, such as monks and nuns who make solemn vows of stability, converso morum, and obedience at their solemn profession. Friars, brothers, and sisters usually make perpetual promises or simple vows of poverty, chastity and obedience at their profession.
