Roman Catholic AnswerThere really isn't a difference. The "Roman" actually started out as a slur against the Church. It comes from the fact that the head of the Catholic Church on earth, the Holy Father, resides in Rome. The word "Catholic" is, nowadays, used by other groups to mean various things, so some of us use "Roman Catholic" to differentiate from them.
