This was a horrible time for the Catholic Church in Prussia, where the protestants, headed by Bismark, the Prime Minister started an all-out campaign against the Catholic Church. Extract from Wikipedia:
The German term About this sound Kulturkampf (literally, "culture struggle") refers to German policies in relation to secularity and the influence of the Roman Catholic Church, enacted from 1871 to 1878 by the Prime Minister of Prussia, Otto von Bismarck. The Kulturkampf did not extend to the other German states such as Bavaria. As one scholar put it, "the attack on the church included a series of Prussian, discriminatory laws that made Catholics feel understandably persecuted within a predominantly Protestant nation." Jesuits, Franciscans, Dominicans and other orders were expelled in the culmination of twenty years of anti-Jesuit and antimonastic hysteria.

Catholic AnswerThere is no "Roman Catholic Church", unless you are speaking of the local Catholic Church in the city of Rome. 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. .The Catholic Church does not own property as such, saving, of course, Vatican City, which actually is its own country, or city-state, if you will. In the United States, for instance, every thing in a diocese - parish Churches, property, schools, convents, everything is owned by the Bishop as corporate-sole. This is how the Catholic Church in the United States was set up due to the laws of that country. I am not familiar with other countries.
You have been chistained with Church of England as a baby can your children be baptised with roman catholic?
Roman Catholic AnswerYour child may be baptised as a Catholic if you can convince the priest that there is an excellent chance that the child will be educated and brought up Catholic, otherwise there is no chance. Baptism, aside from its sacramental gifts, imposes a legal obligation to live by the laws of the Church. Thus, for instance, the child would be bound by the marriage laws of the Catholic church. If he were not taught them then he would be in formal sin (he would be committing a sin he didn't even know about) and the responsibility would be yours.
