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.

There are literally hundreds of major Catholic relief agencies around the world offering help to the common man. Priests, nuns and lay people are encouraged by the Church to perform acts of charity whether at home or on a mission.

How has the decline of the roman empire help the rise of the Catholic church?

The Roman Empire persecuted the Catholic church. When the Roman empire began it's downfall, the Catholic church began to gain more and more power. When the Roman empire finally fell, the Catholic church was the most powerful figure around. Many people seeked help from the church. Monks and Nuns educated the children and poor, hungry people were fed. Just a little clarification. During the Roman empire there was no such thing as the Catholic Church. The religion was simply Christianity. Although initially there were many sects of Christianity, they finally united. It was not until the Protestant Revolt begun by Martin Luther that the denominations of Christianity came into existence, Catholic being one of them.

How does Roman Catholic Church fail to fulfill their purpose?

First off, 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, the Church's mission is to "continue the works of Jesus Christ" and to make his name "known and loved." As the Catholic Church is the Body of Christ, and as it was commissioned by Our Blessed Lord Himself, on the apostle Peter; further He send the Holy Spirit to guide the Church until the end of the world. Thus, it cannot fail in its mission, we as fallible human beings who make up the Church can impede or help this purpose either by following God and cooperating with His Will, or we can frustrate it to an extent through our personal sins. But the Church as such is divine and cannot fail of its purpose.
