This article deals with Roman Catholicism as it relates to NationStates. For more general information, see the Wikipedia article on this subject.

Many NS nations profess the Christian Roman Catholic religion and loyalty to the Holy See. Unlike the real world, however, there is little unity among declared Catholics. Some Roman Catholic nations prefer to recognize a pope from within the NationStates community, such as Pope Leo of the Holy Vatican See. Others acknowledge only the real-life Pope, usually the current John Paul II, but sometimes a past, future, or alternative one, in accordance with their roleplayed history line. A large number of national and variant-rite churches exist. Some Catholic states belong to the Defenders of the Faith alliance. The Catholic faith as practiced in The Reich is not generally accepted as being within the Roman tradition.

Twentish Catholicism is the Roman Catholic Church of Europe, and the church boasting the largest following in Europe. The church is centered in Haaksbergen, Twente, and is headed by Cardinal Middlehuis.
