Coptic Catholic Church

The Coptic Catholic Church is a Catholic Christian community in Egypt that follows the Pope’s authority while maintaining its own Coptic cultural and liturgical traditions. It originated from Egyptian Christians who, in the 18th century, united with Rome but kept their unique language, customs, and worship style rooted in their ancient Coptic heritage. The church emphasizes the continuity of tradition, harmony with the universal Catholic doctrine, and serves as a bridge between Egypt’s Christian community and the global Catholic Church, fostering spiritual life and community identity within Egypt’s diverse religious landscape.
