Just a pet peeve of mine: Catholicism is strictly called "Catholicism," not "Roman Catholicism." Roman Catholicism is to Catholicism as Jesuit is to the monastic order. There are many different areas of Catholicism (where there is agreement on theological issues but not necessarily administrative issues such as the marrying of priests).

Explanation/more info: http://www.ewtn.com/expert/answers/c...d_churches.htm

I guess I just feel bad for all those other Catholics who get shafted by our habit of referring to everything as ROMAN Catholicism
