Best Answer

The "name change" was only made by protestants in England who thought they could be Catholics without acknowledging the Pope in Rome, they are the ones who first started referring to Catholics as Roman Catholics so as to allow themselves to be "Anglo" Catholics. There was never any official name change.

Actually, nowhere, as there is no "Roman Catholic" religion. It’s just Catholic, not Roman Catholic.

The Catholic faith is celebrated everywhere, which is one of the reasons it has the name Catholic, meaning universal or according to the whole.
