No, the Roman Catholic on this forum was asking why another Roman Catholic poster took exception to being called "Roman" Catholic (both posters being of the Roman persuasion.)

This move to delete the "Roman" from Roman Catholic seems confined to people under the age of 23 and cat lovers.

Or perhaps it has occurred since a German pope now resides in the Vatican. Hmmm...

German Catholic would be fine by me too. Systematic mind and all that...

When it comes to Roman Catholic (specific), then it is fine. But many people do not understand the difference beween Roman Catholic and Catholic and use the two terms interchangeably.

This move to delete the "Roman" from Roman Catholic seems confined to people under the age of 23 and cat lovers.

There is no deleting. I believe that you have the same objection when it comes to the naming of your particular sect as opposed to other Prebyterian or Reformed denominations.

The Church has existed for 2 millennia. A German Pope is one in a line of Popes that go back to St. Peter.

Do you have a source for that?
