Little confusion with your question. First of all: 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.
Secondly, the Byzantine Rite is every bit a part of the Catholic Church as the Latin Rite, and the largest - after the Latin Rite. Byzantine Catholics are just as much Catholics and under jurisdiction of the Pope in Rome and Latin Rite Catholics are. I think you are confusing Byzantine Catholics with Orthodox Christians. This is one reason why no one should ever use the term "Roman Catholic", it is a misleading misnomer, and wasn't very nice either when the English starting using it.
Short answer - the Byzantine Rite never left the Catholic Church.
Pope Innocent XI was an outstanding Bishop of the Catholic Church and Pope from 1676 to 1689. He
spent most of his adult life helping the poor. Upon his election as Pope, he took on the enormous task of reducing the annual deficit of the Curia, and actually within a few years had all expenses under the income of the Vatican. He struggled with the absolutism of King Louis XIV of France. King Louis, in an effort to appear a zealous Catholic undertook a ruthless extermination of protestants. Pope Innocent expressed his extreme displeasure and continued to bring the King in line.
Pope Innocent was intent on preserving the purity of faith and morals among the clergy and the faithful. He insisted on a thorough education and an exemplary life of the clergy, reformed the monasteries of Rome, issued guidelines on women's dress, suppressed gambling houses, and encourage frequent and even daily Communion. He suppressed laxism
in moral theology, condemned probabilism,
condemned Quietistic
propositions and in general was an outstanding Pope.

What where was the byzantine developed?
The Byzantine Empire was not developed. In fact, it did not really exist. The term Byzantine Empire has been coined by historians to indicate the eastern part of the Roman Empire after the fall of the western part of this empire. The 'east' continued to exist for nearly 1,000 years after the fall of the 'west.' The people in question did not even know the term "Byzantine" and called it Roman Empire. In other words, it was the continuation of the Roman Empire.
Can Eastern Rite Catholics be called Roman Catholics?
Catholics who belong a Church that uses one of the several Eastern Rites can be considered "Roman" Catholics in the sense that their Church is fully and totally in communion with the Bishop of Rome--the Pope. However, they do not use the Latin or Roman Rite (liturgy, theology, practice, etc.), instead using their own Rite. So, if they are being called "Roman Catholics" because they truly are united with the Pope, then perhaps yes; however, it is not accurate to call them "Roman Catholics" when making reference to their membership in their own particular Catholic Church (and they may indeed object to being referred to as "Roman Catholics"). In that case, it is more accurate to refer to them as Maronite Catholics, or Ukrainian Greek Catholics, or Chaldean Catholics, or Coptic Catholics, etc., depending upon which eastern Catholic Church they belong to; "Roman Catholic" would then refer to "western" Catholics who use the Latin or Roman Rite.Roman Catholic AnswerActually all Catholics are "Roman" Catholics even though the word "Roman" is not normally used. The word Roman came into use in English speaking countries in the last several hundred years and just refers to the fact that the Pope is in Rome, it does NOT refer to the Latin Rite. All different rites of the Church are Roman. The term Roman was originally used to be offensive, it is not strictly correct, I usually use it to differentiate from all the other churches who are now calling themselves Catholic, like the Polish National Catholics, the Old Rite Catholics, the Anglo-Catholics, the Society of St. Pius X Catholics, the Orthodox Catholics, etc. .Eastern Rite Catholics are every bit as much Catholics as Latin Rite Catholics:1203 The liturgical traditions or rites presently in use in the Church are the Latin (principally the Roman rite, but also the rites of certain local churches, such as the Ambrosian rite, or those of certain religious orders) and the Byzantine, Alexandrian, or Coptic, Syriac, Armenian, Maronite, and Chaldean rites. In "faithful obedience to tradition, the sacred Council declares that Holy Mother Church holds all lawfully recognized rites to be of equal right and dignity, and that she wishes to preserve them in the future and to foster them in every way." (Sacrosanctum concilium 4)
