The Catholic Church in Zambia is part of the worldwide Catholic Church, under the spiritual leadership of the Pope in Rome.
The 2010 census found that 75.3% of Zambians were Protestant and 20.2% were other Christians (mainly Catholic); this amounted to over about three million Catholics in the country.[1]: 20 [2]
Figures in 2020 suggested that 85% of the country had a Christian background, with 34% following Protestantism and 32% following Catholicism.[3] Other figures noted that there are almost 1,000 priests and over 2,000 serving almost 400 parishes.[4]
