How did napoleon bring religious order to France?
Napoleon, himself, was not religious, although some claim he was Catholic due to the Concordat that he signed with the Roman Catholic Church in order to maintain peace with Rome following the French Revolution (1789-1799) where he confiscated the church lands and assumed control over the appointment of bishops. Although he never gave the property back, he did however, make France officially a Catholic nation. Ultimately, he exercised the long-lived idea of religious tolerance, which was a fundamental cause during this era of "enlightened despotism". Hope this answers your question!

How did napoleon make peace with the catholic chruch?
A potential source of opposition to Napoleon was the Church. Napoleon knew very well the deep conservatism of the French peasants in religious matters and strove to harness this sentiment to his advantage, seeking a reconciliation with the Pope. He once said "the people must have a religion and the same must be in the hands of the government". This was probably the boldest decision of his entire life, and in a certain verse was one of the heaviest blow inflicted to the Republican rule. Napoleon was able to overcome the harsh opposition of the Republican members of the government and of the military establishment, acting practically alone, with almost no help. The Treaty was signed in 1801, but Napoleon dared to publish to relevant articles only after a year and even then the matter required a lot of courage and decision. The advantages, though, widely compensated the risks as, in one shot the First Consul had shattered the most effective weapon of the royalist propaganda, because from that moment on, the Bourbon could no more claim of being to only defenders of the Christian traditions in France. At the same time helped to pacify the Vendée and improved the relations with Belgium and Italy, which were Catholic country.

May a church title itself Catholic and not be a Roman Catholic Church?
Unfortunately, the Church has little control over the name Catholic and it is hijacked all the time by groups that are NOT in union with Rome and, therefore, not truly Catholic. A few examples: The American Catholic Church, The American Charismatic Catholic Church, the Polish National Catholic Church. Calling oneself something does not make it so.

I'm afraid not. The Catholic church will consider the baby as a 'Christian' and not a 'Roman Catholic' since they were baptized. It's a valid sacrament in the eyes of the Catholic Church. However you need to talk to the parish priest in the Catholic Church and they'll guide you with more information as to make your baby a Roman Catholic.

Is Anglican Christianity or Catholic?
No WAY!!! The Anglican church is probably one of the closER Protestant "branch religions" to the Catholic Church, but it is still a Protestant religion. The Anglican church is missing some of the MOST key factors that "make" the Catholic Church Catholic. So "no, they are most definitely NOT the same."
