“They were FORCED into using it?”

Essentially, yes. See the original edition of the New Oxford Dictionary, vol. 8, page 766.

There have been times when Catholics were outright forced to use the term:

“It notes that in 1901 the English Hierarchy found they would not be permitted to address Edward VII on his accession unless they accepted the label. Cardinal Vaughan finally agreed so long as it was understood that he would clarify its meaning in a later public statement.”

“He made this statement in speech given at Newcastle upon Tyne that September where he told the Faithful,

“I would now say to you all, use the term ‘Roman Catholic’. Claim it: defend it: be proud of it; but in the true and Catholic sense. As the African Fathers wrote some fourteen centuries ago, ‘To be Roman is to be Catholic, and to be Catholic is to be Roman’. But I would also say, Like your English forefathers and your brethren on the Continent, call yourselves habitually and especially when the word ‘Roman’ is misunderstood simply Catholics, members of the Catholic Church.”

The insistence of Anglicans on warping terms for the Catholic Church was so strong that, when they reached Japan, more than 400 years after Catholics first arrived (who were later expelled by the pagans), but before Catholics could register a name with the government, the Anglicans registered under the name “Japanese Holy Catholic Church” (NSKK).
