Roman Catholicism in Angola
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Roman Catholic Church in Angola is part of the worldwide Roman Catholic Church, under the spiritual leadership of the Pope and curia in Rome. Approximately 45% of the population profess the Catholic faith - the large number due largely to Angola's status as a former Portuguese colony.
There are sixteen dioceses, including 3 archdioceses. All the bishops are members of the regional Episcopal Conference of Angola and Sao Tome.
