You're simply wrong, plenty of the RCs in Lancashire (England), and in America refer to themselves as such. I don't care what people call themselves, whether its "roman catholic" or "catholic, most people in the ROI and the north dont even attend mass anymore. When I was growing up I never bothered to think about your pedantic distinction, Here's an article by a RC site noting instances of it even amongst RC theologians https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/13121a.htm I shall continue to use the term, your pedantic attempts at distinction aside, also i like the childish west brit insult... what could be wrong with being british that you think its an insult? have nothing against the british, call me a shoneen and your other puerile shite
