Roman Catholicism in Egypt

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Roman Catholic population in Egypt is considerably small as compared to the rest of the Christian population in Egypt. The Roman Catholic population in Egypt is said to have begun during the British control of Egypt, however many returned back to Europe after the 1952 Revolution in Egypt, which also caused the overthrow and exile of King Farouk of Egypt.

The population of Roman Catholics in Egypt makes up less than 1% of the total Egyptian population, which is roughly 75 million people.
