What struggles did the church face under the roman empire during the middle ages?
None, since the Roman Empire fell apart in about 400 AD and the Middle Ages started over 500 years later. The Church faced numerous problems during the fall of the Roman Empire, which eventually led to the Western Church (now the Roman Catholic Church) and the Eastern Church (now the Greek Orthodox Church) to split and excommunicate the other. During the Middle Ages, the Church became very influential with the royal and noble households and had practically untouchable political and economic power.
What is the relationship between the Roman Empire and the the Roman Catholic Church?
First let's get our terms straight. There is no such thing as the Roman Catholic Church. It is the Catholic Church.

In the days of the Roman empire, there was no "church" as we know it, the religion was simply Christianity. Christianity was spread throughout the Roman empire due to the good roads and peaceful conditions. Remember that Christianity was conceived and spread during the Pax Romana.Roman Catholic AnswerIf you are asking about the Holy Roman Empire: from Pocket Catholic Dictionary by John A. Hardon, S.J., Doubleday c 1980, 1985The old Roman Empire was divided into Eastern and Western parts by Arcadius and Honorius in 395. The Eastern empire ceased to exist when Constantinople was taken by the Turks, in 1453. The Western empire dismembered, the last emperor being deposed in 476. The Holy Roman Empire begin in 800 with the attempted restoration by the Papacy of the Roman empire in the West, effected by the coronation of Charlemagne by Pope Leo III. . . . Pope John XII crowed Otto I, king of Germany, as emperor in 962, and henceforth the kingdoms of Germany and Italy remained united until the 16th century. . . .Though of tremendous importance in the development of Europe, the theory of the Holy Roman Empire, as the temporal protector of the church with the kings of the earth ruling as vicegerents of the emperor was never much more than a theory. It was not holy and was in frequent collision with the Church; it was not Roman but Teutonic, having its chief power beyond the borders of the old Empire; and it has hardly an empire after the death of Frederick Barbarossa in 1190.

Why the Holy Roman Empire was never able to achieve the unity and power of the English or French monarchies?
The Holy Roman Empire wasn't actually an empire it was the Roman Catholic Church(I'm not 100% positive I'm correct on the answer I'm about to give you) Leaders in Italy wanted to bring back the Roman Empire in the form of the Catholic Church and they never really achieved the unity and power of the English and French due to the fact they were Protestant (i.e Christian, Baptist, Methodist etc.) and they didn't have much of a way to enforce anything. I'm about 80% sure that's the answer I haven't looked at European history in a while.
