A little history:

Good try.

Funny. If indeed the term *Roman Catholicism* is a Protestant invention (which I don't believe it is) then why do Roman Catholic churches self-identify as *Roman Catholic*?

I doubt anyone is holding a gun to the heads of those Catholics who label their churches as such.

And they do in areas where other Catholic rites exist to differentiate between them and he other rites.

Buffalo is a good example with Roman Catholic churches IDing as *Roman Catholic* to distinguish them from *Ukrainian Catholic*.
