List of Catholic leaders and politicians

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The following is a list of politicians and leaders who were Catholic. When adding names one should consider.

  • Is this politician or leader being a Catholic part of their fame or significance?
  • Would I expect to see this person on a list of Catholic politicians or leaders?
  • Is this person a canonical example of a "Catholic politician" or a "Catholic leader."

Ideally names that fit none of those three statements should be removed even if they are or may have been Catholics.
