There is no such thing as the “Roman” Catholic Church. There is a Catholic Church. It is sometimes referred to as the Roman Catholic Church, but the correct title is Catholic Church. The Church’s hierarchy is headed by the Bishop of Rome, known as the Pope ,who is the leader of the worldwide Catholic Church composed of the Latin Church and the Eastern Catholic Churches in full communion with the see of Rome. If you’re a member of the Latin Church or Eastern Catholic Church, you’re a member of the Catholic Church.

There is no such thing as the Roman Catholic Church.That's true, since most Catholic churches stay in the same place...
(The way my grandson eats noodles I think he's going to become a Ramen Catholic, but I digress.)

We've entered the hair-splitting phase. My understanding is not the same as yours on this matter.
Furthermore, I have in no way been encouraged by this thread to join any church with a pope, whatever you wish to call it. Most of the rest of us call it the Roman Catholic Church, so as not to confuse it with the Holy Catholic Church which has only The Lord Jesus Christ and none other above Her.
Let's not proceed down this path today...okay?
