Well, depends on the context. If you are talking about Spanish imperialism, or Latin American and Filipino history, the Church is automatically assumed to be the Roman Catholic Church with no label attached to the initial word; most of the time, the dominion is not even mentioned or introduced-- just "Church," with a capital "C."

Although, in context of THIS article, it's either bad editing, or a huge cultural misunderstanding.
