Scottish Catholic Church

The Scottish Catholic Church is the branch of Catholic Christianity operating in Scotland, led by the Archbishop of St Andrews and Edinburgh. It traces its roots to early Christianity and has historically played a significant spiritual and cultural role in Scottish society. The church includes dioceses, clergy, and lay members, and oversees religious services, education, and charitable activities. It maintains doctrinal teachings aligned with the global Roman Catholic Church, emphasizing faith, tradition, and community service. Despite declines in attendance over recent decades, it remains an influential religious institution within Scotland’s diverse religious landscape.
