Title of Category
editShouldn't this category be retitled Catholicism in the United States? "Roman Catholicism" is a vernacular term originated by Anglicans to refer to Catholic's who followed the Roman pontiff. But no where does the Catholic Church adopt or use the title "Roman Catholic Church" -- in part because the Roman Rite is just one of many other Catholic rites.
Also, if this category includes not just Roman Rite Catholicsim in the United States, but also other Catholic rites, it is a misnomer.--GodBlessYou55 (talk) 17:00, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
