No, it is.

Now, it’s your OPINION vs my OPINION.

Since you cannot demonstrate that it’s a fact, you cannot make the claim as factual.

FWIW, in the Buffalo area, where there are also the Orthodox and Ukrainian Catholics, it’s not uncommon for Roman Catholics to identify themselves as *Roman Catholic* to distinguish between themselves and the Ukrainian rite.

You need to get over yourself.

“Now, it’s your OPINION vs my OPINION.”

Nope. The sources I posted - in post #65 - show that this is not merely my opinion. Again, it would help if you actually read the thread.

“Since you cannot demonstrate that it’s a fact, you cannot make the claim as factual.”

Since post #65 demonstrates what I am saying is factual you’re simply wrong.

“FWIW, in the Buffalo area, where there are also the Orthodox and Ukrainian Catholics, it’s not uncommon for Roman Catholics to identify themselves as *Roman Catholic* to distinguish between themselves and the Ukrainian rite.”

Duh! Read carefully: I already pointed out - in post #65 for instance - that English speaking Catholics long ago, whether rightly or wrongly, somewhat adopted the use of the Protestant term “Roman Catholic” because that was what was accepted (especially in a Protestant English speaking country). In other words, I already addressed this and got it 100% correct while you flounder about bringing up points already dealt with by me almost 80 posts ago. Here you go: http://freerepublic.com/focus/religion/3594481/posts?page=65#65

If you’re paying attention, and I have no reason to believe you are, I even mentioned was what happened in Japan with the Anglican Church and its name there.

“You need to get over yourself.”

You need to read post #65 so you don’t keep embarrassing yourself.
