"Roman Catholic" is a Protestant slur invented to make Catholics foreigners in their English-speaking countries. What a ridiculous assertion! Since Roman Catholics presumed to claim exclusive right to the term "church" and "catholic", which originally meant "of the whole" or "universal", it was necessary to differentiate the ROMAN version of Christianity from others. If it is a "slur", then explain why your religion uses it themselves?

Hey!
Even the Mormons are trying to slither away from the word MORMON.

On matters of theology, we simply say Catholic. No, we don’t mean you guys.
On matters of liturgy, we speak of the Roman Rite, Roman Missal, etc.
