This page illustrates the problematic of current English Wikipedia terminology for the Catholic Church.

The article speaks of "Roman Catholicism", as if that were the Church's official name, but the faithful indicated in the articles are members of the Melkite Greek Catholic Church and the Maronite Church. These are two Eastern Catholic churches with their own hierarchies, headed by patriarchs; they are in full communion with the Pope of Rome, but to call them Roman Catholics is an abuse of terminology.
