www.byzcath.org Forums General Discussions Town Hall Eastern Catholic Majority

Friends,

Is there an Eparchy, County or City in the world where the Eastern Catholics outnumber the Latin Catholics?

And... you can't use Lebanon or Syria. I think those countries already have a majority of Eastern Catholics. What about in the USA?

much of ukraine, hopefully?

Doesn't anyone have any info?

Probably Bulgaria

You would have to come up with the numbers from the respective dioceses/Eparchies, but I would guess all of western Ukraine.

I wish . Only in the western region of Galacia do Catholics have majority. I think only 10-15% of all Ukrainians are Catholic, sadly.

edit: Oh I thought you meant much of Ukraine as compared to all other religions. Yeah I believe Greek Catholics are around 6 million and Roman Catholics at about 1 million.

Eastern Catholics also out number both Roman Catholics and Orthodox (both Oriental and Eastern) in many regions of the middle east. In particular lebanon with the Maronites and the Melkites.

Winnipeg, Canada might be a place where Greek Catholics outnumber Latin Rite Catholics. I say might because I am not sure. I'll have to make some phone calls out to my friends in the Manitoba region of Canada to see what they know.

All I know is that they have a tremendous number of Ukrainians living there in Winnipeg.
