I note that the official Vatica site, Vatican.Va , refers to itself as "Roman Catholic" hundreds of times so it would be difficult for me to imagine someone taking umbrage at the abbreviation RC or RCC.
No matter, I will continue to use it without apology.
As an aside, I have seen frequent references from RC's of FR to a quote from Augustine; "Rome has spoken...", also from Ignatius; "Rome has spoken..." (Whether spurious or not is not the question). I would imagine that is implied permission for you to use "Rome" as a substitute for "Catholic" as you wish. :-)
It would be difficult to find a single term which would satisfy all who call themselves “Catholic”. After all, there are many brands of Catholicism and it is not up to you to ask each and every individual which term they wish to be identified with.

ABSOLUTELY INDEED.
Most of the carping is probably merely intolerance of allowing a Proddy any freedom in posting THE TRUTH without an RC’ fairly compulsive and automatic wailing and whining about it. And, too, a lot of them have to weasel out of the truth in order to go on pretending to their mirrors that they have it right.
