The Catholic Church is "the Catholic Communion of Churches, both Roman and Eastern, or Oriental, that are in full communion with the Bishop of Rome (the pope)." This communion comprises the Latin Church (the Roman or Western Church) as well as 23 Eastern Catholic Churches, canonically called sui juris churches, each led by either a patriarch or a major archbishop in full communion with the pope. Historically, these bodies separated from Eastern Christian communions, either to remain in or to return to full communion with the Catholic Church. The Vatican II decree on Eastern Catholic Churches, however, explicitly recognizes them as churches and not just rites within the Catholic Church. This communion "exists among and between the individual Churches and dioceses of the universal Catholic Church. Its structural expression is the College of Bishops, each of whom represents and embodies his own local church." In addition to Eastern Catholic Churches, the Catholic Church oversees the Catholic Charismatic Renewal, the largest Charismatic movement of a single institution in 2020, with over 100 million members, primarily in the Global South. The Catholic Church is also described as an "amalgam of parts" (i.e., thousands of individual dioceses and religious orders) globally dispersed, but in communion with Rome.
The Catholic Church is the "world's oldest continuously functioning international institution." It is also the largest non-government provider of education and health care in the world, while the diplomatic status of the Holy See facilitates access to its vast international network of charities. These entities include 5,000 hospitals, 10,000 orphanages, 95,000 elementary schools and 47,000 secondary schools.
Methodology
Most of the figures are taken from the CIA's World Factbook or Pew Research Center surveys.{{cite web |access-date=6 November 2015 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304093021/http://www.pewforum.org/files/2010/04/sub-saharan-africa-chapter-1.pdf |archive-date=4 March 2016 and the church figures.
According to The World Factbook and Pew, the five countries with the largest number of Catholics are, in decreasing order:
- Brazil Brazil
- Mexico Mexico
- Philippines Philippines
- United States United States
- DR Congo Democratic Republic of the Congo
The country with the largest percentage of its population having membership in the church is Vatican City at 100%, followed by Timor-Leste at 97%.
According to the World Christian Database, there are 1.272 billion Catholics worldwide as of 2025, which constitute 48.1% of 2.645 billion Christians. According to the Census of the 2023 Annuario Pontificio ('Pontifical Yearbook'), the number of baptized Catholics in the world was about 1.376 billion at the end of 2021. The research initiative Catholics & Cultures compiles data on Catholic demographics, including from the Annuario Pontificio, by country.
Conflicting numbers can be found in 2013 research conducted by the Brazilian polling institute Datafolha. Its report states that the Catholic percentage of the Brazilian population over the age of 16 years is 57%, in contrast to the 64.63% published by CIA and the 68.6% of Pew. Also, the 2010 Mexican census showed this percentage to be 83.9%against a 91.89% number in The World Factbook.

Its dioceses report to Rome, not to Ottawa; the Church is not a national or univocal entity but an amalgam of separate parts. Each diocese operates self-reliantly or independently of the others."
