The Catholic population in Egypt is considerably small as compared to the rest of the Christian population in Egypt. The Catholic population in Egypt is said to have begun during the British control of Egypt. However, many returned to Europe after the 1952 Revolution in Egypt, which also caused the overthrow and exile of King Farouk of Egypt. Catholics in Egypt belong to seven distinct ritual Particular Churches, the largest being the Coptic Catholic Church, led by its Patriarch of Alexandria. The majority of the Christians in Egypt are members of the Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria. The number of Catholics (less than 200,000) in Egypt makes up much less than 1% of the total Egyptian population, which is roughly 75 million people. Many of Egypt's Latin Catholics are of Italian or Maltese descent, while Egypt's Melkite Greek Catholics and Maronite Catholics are predominantly of Syro-Lebanese descent. ==Dioceses〔GCatholic.org: (Catholic Dioceses in Egypt )〕〔Catholic-Hierarchy: (Current Dioceses in Egypt )〕== * Armenian Catholic Eparchy of Iskanderiya * Chaldean Catholic Eparchy of Cairo * Coptic Catholic Eparchy of Alexandria * Coptic Catholic Eparchy of Assiut * Coptic Catholic Eparchy of Guizeh * Coptic Catholic Eparchy of Ismayliah * Coptic Catholic Eparchy of Luqsor * Coptic Catholic Eparchy of Minya * Coptic Catholic Eparchy of Sohag * Coptic Catholic Patriarchate of Alexandria * Greek-Melkite Catholic Patriarchal Exarchate of Alexandria * Greek-Melkite Catholic Territory Dependent on the Patriarch of Egypt and Sudan * Maronite Catholic Eparchy of Cairo * Latin Catholic Apostolic Vicariate of Alexandria of Egypt * Syrian Catholic Eparchy of Cairo 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Roman Catholicism in Egypt」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
