Catholic Church in Angola

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 38% (6,437,580) of the population profess the Catholic faith - the large number due largely to Angola's status as a former Portuguese colony.
