[edit] Statistics

There are over 37 million baptized Catholics in Spain - about 90% of the total population. There are 70 dioceses and archdioceses.

It is important to note that many Spaniards identify themselves as Catholics just because they were baptized and for cultural reasons, even though they may not be very religious.
