Is Latin Church the same as Roman Catholic?

Question

Is the Latin Church the same as the Roman Catholic Church?

EDIT: So for my task it says Latin Church (Rome) i google it and it comes up with only Roman Catholic Church so is it exact as that with different names say short. eg Will for William or something along those lines? Or something completely different? And can someone give me link for Latin Church (With origins etc) then? Thanks

Also if they are the SAME thing do they follow the Latin Rite or something different (name)?

Answer 1

Yes. When the church split in 1045 (? check that date) there was the Roman Catholic Church with the Pope at its head in Rome where the administrative language was Latin and the Orthodox with the Patriarch of Constantinople where the administrative language was Greek. Thus we have the Latin and the Greek churches.

Answer 2

Yes and no.

Unfortunately the terms "Catholic Church" and "Roman Catholic Church" are applied two ways and are frequently interchanged.

Usually "Roman Catholic Church" refers only to the Latin Rite Catholic Church. However "Catholic Church" is also often used in this circumstance.

Usually "Catholic Church" is used as the over reaching umbrella joining the Latin (or Western) and Eastern Rite Catholic Churches. The term "Roman Catholic Church" is used less often in this circumstance.

With love in Christ.
