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. You are talking about the Vatican in the city of Rome, Italy, home of the Pope, who is the Vicar of Christ on earth, and the visible leader of His Church.
First of all, there is no "Roman" Catholic Church. 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, ever diocese is a particular Church, if you are just asking about the Pope, or the Bishops in Spain, then you will have to ask that question. Finally, history records that the explorers in the new world, brought the Church with them, in the person of priests and friars, and the "Church" fully supported them in this.
The Vatican City is the seat of the Papacy. Located within Rome, Italy, it is considered an independent nation, not part of Italy.
Jesus Christ founded the Roman Catholic Church in this world. However, it was actually instituted (physically brought into existence) by St. Peter whom Christ gave a special mission to. If you look at Matthew 16:18, you'll see that Christ gives authority to Peter to found His Church. Peter took this mission to Rome, which was the center of the government, culture, and commerce at his time and he decided to found the church there. Thus the church is called the Roman Catholic Church.

The Roman Catholic Religion originally came from Judaism. All the founding members of the Church were Jews. Our Blessed Lord, Himself, was a Jew, and His apostles were all Jews. The "Roman" part of it comes from the fact that the first Pope, Peter, went to Rome, which was the center of the civilized world at that point in history, and the Church has spread out from Rome to cover the world.
