Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles
available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Roman
Catholic Church in Armenia is part of the worldwide Roman Catholic
Church, under the spiritual leadership of the Pope and curia in Rome.
There are around 110,000 Catholics in Armenia, representing about 4% of
the total population. Prior to the Armenian Genocide, some historic
regions of Armenia such as Artvin and Cilicia held a great number of
Armenian Catholics. These groups became part of the worldwide Armenian
diaspora, fleeing primarily to Latin American countries such as
Argentina. There are two territorial jurisdictions in the country - an
Apostolic Administration for those of the Latin Rite and an Ordinariate
for those of the Armenian Rite. The latter covers other Catholics in
Eastern Europe of the Armenian rite.
