It's nothing more than a distinguishing title to note the differences between the Roman rite and other ones. Catholics use it themselves all the time.

I was merely making a historical note.
It is something that has stuck and become the norm over the years. It is an American thing that is not used either by the Church officially or in other countries.
Whatever, I do not shy away from it and only bring it up because some here seem to think they can use it to prove that the Church today is not the Church of the NT or of the last nearly 2,000 years.
History proves that to be untrue.
