Catholic Church in India
The Catholic Church in India is part of the worldwide Catholic Church under the leadership of the Pope and the curia in Rome.
There are over 19.9 million Catholics in India,〔(Factfile: Roman Catholics around the world ) on BBC news.〕 which represents around 1.55% of the total population and the Catholic church is the largest Christian church within India.〔 There are 168 dioceses in India organised into 30 provinces. Of these, 131 are Latin Church, 29 Syro-Malabar Catholic Church and 8 Syro-Malankara Catholic Church dioceses. Despite the small percentage, India has the second largest Catholic population in Asia after the Philippines, due to India's huge population.
All the bishops in India, both Western and Eastern, form the Catholic Bishops' Conference of India, which was founded in 1944.〔(Catholic Bishops Conference of India ) on CBCI website.〕 The Holy See's representative to the government of India and to the Church in India is the Apostolic Nuncio to India. The diplomatic mission was established as the Apostolic Delegation to the East Indies in 1881. It was raised to an Internunciature by Pope Pius XII in 1948 and to a full Apostolic Nunciature by Pope Paul VI in 1967.
