Roman Catholic AnswerDIderot was against the Catholic Church for several reasons, actually. His sister was a nun, who, supposedly, died from over-work. Apparently, this started his campaign against the Church. Also, he was a member of what is called the Enlightment, which was a disasterous heresy that thought man could improve himself without reference to God. In very broad terms, one could say that the Enlightment brought the Ages of Faith to an end. In other words, Diderot put his faith in man not God.

Why would people think the break with the Roman Catholic Church would be good?

There is no "Roman" Catholic Church, the Roman was added as a slur against the Catholic Church in England after the protestant revolt.

May a church title itself Catholic and not be a Roman Catholic Church?

Unfortunately, the Church has little control over the name Catholic and it is hijacked all the time by groups that are NOT in union with Rome and, therefore, not truly Catholic. A few examples: The American Catholic Church, The American Charismatic Catholic Church, the Polish National Catholic Church. Calling oneself something does not make it so.
