The Catholic Church in Latin America began with the Spanish and Portuguese colonization of the Americas and continues up to the present day.

The vast majority of Latin Americans are Christians (90%),[1] mostly Catholics belonging to the Latin Church.[2] In 2012 Latin America constitutes, in absolute terms, the world's second largest Christian population; after Europe.[3] In comparison to Europe and some other Western culture nations, the Catholic Church still has a major influence in Latin American society.
