It's just the Catholic Church, not the Roman Catholic Church. Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is rarely used by the Catholic Church. There has been an unbroken line of 266 popes from St. Peter (first Pope appointed by Our Blessed Lord in Matthew 16: 17-19) to the current Francis (as of 2013), and 39 anti-popes (Men who claimed to be pope but were not validly elected). For the complete list, see the link below.
