The Great Schism between what then came to be called the Catholic Church and the Orthodox Church occurred after the the fall of Rome, which was actually the fall of the western part of the Roman Empire, which fell under the weight of the invasions by Germanic peoples. The Eastern part of the Roman Empire was not affected by these invasions and continued to exist for another 1,000 year and continued after the Great Schism.
The Catholic Church saved Western Civilization. The barbarian invaders were barbarians that wished to join in the civilization of Rome. Leaders such as Theodoric the Goth and Atilla the Hun were barbarians that forced themselves into civilization. The Catholic Church saved civilization because the barbarians destroyed it on accident. The Catholic Church preserved knowledge and learning. The monks, in monasteries, throughout the barbarian invasions, kept great knowledge and lore in their libraries. The monks wrote and copied many books and preserved them in the monasteries which were safe, even as the cities were sacked. "How the Catholic Church Built Western Civilization " by Thomas E. Woods Jr. is a good book that will answer your question in greater detail.
You would use the phrase Roman Catholic Church as a noun, because it's a name. For example, "The Roman Catholic Church is headquarted in Vatacin City" or "John is a member of the Roman Catholic Church". Tip: there is no Roman Catholic Church. It is the Catholic Church.
