The Roman Catholic Church in Morocco is part of the worldwide Roman Catholic Church, under the spiritual leadership of the Pope and curia in Rome.
There are around 20,000 Catholics in Morocco most of them are European expatriates, with a big majority of French and Spanish, the second group is composed of sub saharan immigrants, mainly students. There are very few converts from Islam the dominant religion and when they exist, they keep their faith secret. This counts for only about two-thirds of one tenth of a percent of the overall population of over 31,000,000. The country is divided into two archdioceses; Rabat and Tangier.
