'It is also problematic to qualify Catholic for the Pope's followers.
Calling them Roman is inaccurate as there is now complete separation
between the Vatican, a political entity independent of all others, and
Rome, the capital of an Italy with no established religion.'

Nevertheless, we call ourselves Roman Catholics. It is inaccurate to call
England 'England' since its inhabitants are no longer exclusively
Angles. It is inaccurate to call French Fries French since the dish
originated in Belgium. Etc., etc., but none of this matters, because
derivation is one thing and meaning is another. I am a Roman Catholic,
thank you very much, and I would prefer to go on describing my religion by
the term that everyone in Christendom already knows.
