Main reason why Roman and Catholic Church was split?
Ah, not sure what you are asking here. The "Roman" Church usually is the Anglican way of referring to the Catholic Church as the Pope, who is Christ's Vicar on earth, and thus head of the Catholic Church, is the Bishop of Rome. Thus if you are using "Roman Church" in that way, it is the same thing as the Catholic Church. If you are not using Roman to refer to the Catholic Church, then you will have to reword you question as I have no idea what you're talking about.

.Catholic AnswerTwo problems, but the answer is a simple no to both of them. The Catholic Church, whose headquarters is in the Vatican, which is in Rome is the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church, as enumerated in the Nicene Creed. However, there is a "Catholic Apostolic Churches" which is a protestant sect started by an Anglican which has nothing to do with the Catholic Church.

What is the American Catholic Church?
If you are using "American Catholic Church" as a proper noun, then there is a protestant denomination which had its roots in the Old Catholic Church (a breakaway from the Catholic Church after Vatican Council I), which styles itself "Catholic"..If you are using the term as descriptive of the Catholic Church in America, then it is a result of a heresy called Americanism, which was officially condemned by Pope Leo XIII in his apostolic letter, Testem Benevotentiae (January 22, 1899) addressed to Cardinal Gibbons, who was the ninth Archbishop of Baltimore until his death in 1921.

Yes, the Roman Catholic Church recognizes the baptism of the Episcopal Church and most any other Christian Church that performs a baptism in the name of the Holy Trinity, e.g., "In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit." The Pastor of your Catholic Church will request the Baptism Card or Certificate signed by the priest of your Episcopal Church, when your family is 'received' into the Catholic Church and/or prior to signing off on the child's the First Communion. As a side-note the Catholic Church recognizes that any person may perform the Baptism of a child in cases of necessity, even by a non-baptized person, with the required intention, by using the Trinitarian baptismal formula as stated above. The intention required is to will to do what the Church does when she baptizes. [Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1256]

What is the difference between the byzantine church and the roman church?
Not really sure what you are asking here, the "Roman" Church might be a way of referring to the Latin Rite of the Catholic Church, or it might be referring to the diocese of Rome. Assuming you are referring to the Latin Rite, then the Byzantine Church also is a Rite within the Catholic Church, it is not as large as the Latin Rite, but it is every bit as ancient, and just as much a part of the Catholic Church as the Latin Rite. Are using asking for the physical differences between an actual Church of the Latin Rite as opposed to a Church of the Byzantine Rite?
Why Roman Catholic Church is not Christian?
Catholic AnswerThe Catholic Church is Christian, as a matter of fact, it is the only true Christian Church: Our Blessed Lord only founded ONE Church, and guaranteed It and send the Holy Spirit to guide It until the end of the world. Therefore there is only one Christian Church and it is the Catholic Church on earth. All other sects and religions were formed by men centuries later and are Christian only insofar as they have a valid baptism and believe in the Nicene Creed in its traditional interpretation; in other words, Christians are Christians only insofar as they are Catholics. All other "Christians" are only using the word, and are not so in fact. Please note that Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the Catholic Church.
