    The Catholic Church wasn’t called “Roman” until the Protestant Reformation. As a matter of fact, the only places where it’s called “Roman” are in countries settled or controlled by England. The Anglican Catholic Church dubbed the Catholic Church “Roman” in order to distinguish itself from churches whose earthly head was the Pope, as opposed to the king or queen of England. Since the early power brokers in the United States were Episcopalians (Anglicans), the Catholic Church has been referred to as “Roman” Catholic. Most Catholics in the United States go along with it simply because of custom.
