The [[Catholic Church]] is "the Catholic Communion of Churches, both Roman and Eastern, or Oriental, that are in [[full communion]] with the Bishop of Rome ([[Pope|the pope]])."<ref name=mcbrien>Richard P. McBrien. ''The Church: The Evolution of Catholicism.'' (New York: Harper One, 2008) p.447</ref> The church is also known by members as the [[People of God]], the [[Body of Christ]], the "Temple of the Holy Spirit", among other names.<ref name=mcbrien/> According to [[Vatican II]]'s {{lang|la|[[Gaudium et spes]]}}, the "church has but one sole purpose–that the [[kingdom of God]] may come and the salvation of the human race may be accomplished."<ref name=mcbrien/><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.vatican.va/archive/hist_councils/ii_vatican_council/documents/vat-ii_const_19651207_gaudium-et-spes_en.html|title=Gaudium et spes|website=Vatican.va}}</ref>
This communion of churches comprises the [[Latin Church]] (or the Roman or Western Church) as well as 23 [[Eastern Catholic Churches]], canonically called ''[[sui juris]]'' churches, each led by either a [[patriarch]] or a [[major archbishop]] in full communion with the [[Bishop of Rome]]. Historically, these bodies separated from [[Eastern Christian]] communions, either to remain in or to return to full communion with the Catholic Church. [[Vatican II]] decree on Eastern Catholic Churches, however, explicitly recognizes Eastern Catholic communities as "true Churches" and not just [[Catholic particular churches and liturgical rites|rite]]s within the Catholic Church.<ref>Edward P. Hahnenberg. A CONCISE GUIDE TO THE DOCUMENTS OF VATICAN II (Cincinnati, OH: St. Anthony Messenger Press, 2007).</ref> This Communion of Churches "exists among and between the individual Churches and dioceses of the universal Catholic Church. Its structural expression is the College of Bishops, each of whom represents and embodies his own local church."<ref>McBrien, 447.</ref> In addition to Eastern Catholic Churches, the Catholic Church oversees the Catholic Charismatic renewal, the largest Charismatic movement of a single institution in 2020, with over 100 million members, primarily in the Global South.<ref>Dr. Todd M. Johnson, "Pentecostal/Charismatic Christianity" ''World Christian Encyclopedia'' 3rd edition, [[Edinburgh University]] Press, 2019.</ref> The Catholic Church is also described as an "amalgam of parts" (i.e., thousands of individual dioceses, religious orders, etc.) globally dispersed, but in communion with Rome.<ref>Michael W. Higgins, "Promises to keep," ''The Tablet'', 2 July 2022, 10. As Canadian bishops noted in the article, there is no "Catholic church of Canada" (i.e., no national church as the Anglican "Church of Canada" or "Church of England"), only a "Catholic Church in Canada." "Its dioceses report to Rome, not to Ottawa; the Church is not a national or univocal entity but an amalgam of separate parts." Each diocese operates self-reliantly or independently of the others.</ref>
The Catholic Church is the "world's oldest continuously functioning ''international'' institution."<ref>Mark A. Noll. THE NEW SHAPE OF WORLD CHRISTIANITY (Downers Grove, IL: IVP Academic, 2009), 191.</ref> It is also the largest non-government provider of [[Catholic school|education]] and [[Catholic Church and health care|health care]] in the world,<ref name="Geopolitics">{{cite journal|last=Agnew|first=John|title=Deus Vult: The Geopolitics of Catholic Church|journal=Geopolitics|date=12 February 2010|volume=15|issue=1|pages=39–61|doi=10.1080/14650040903420388|s2cid=144793259}}</ref> while the diplomatic status of the Holy See facilitates the access of its vast international network of [[Catholic charities|charities]]. Some of these entities include 5,000 hospitals, 10,000 orphanages, 95,000 elementary schools and 47,000 secondary schools.<ref>Johnson, "Catholicism Worldwide," ''World Christian Encyclopedia'', Edinburgh University Press, 2019.</ref>

}}</ref> In Latin American countries, Latinobarometro is often cited.<ref>Latinobarometro, Opinion Publica Latinoamericana, Enero 2018.</ref> In Germany and other German speaking regions of Europe, there are official membership statistics due to the fact that the government collects a [[church tax]] based on these membership lists. For this reason, statistics are not grounded on surveys based solely on self-identification. One's baptismal certificate or any other religious document is likewise secondary to church statistics.<ref>"Church Tax In Germany Explained [2021 English Guide] by Jen-July 3, 2021. Simple Germany</ref> This method might explain the discrepancy between Pew's figures on Germany<ref>"Five Centuries After Reformation, Catholic-Protestant Divide in Western Europe Has Faded," Pew Research Center, 31 July 2017
</ref> and the church figures.<ref>See Philip Hammond, "Religion and the Persistence of Identify," ''Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion'', 27, 1988. According to Pew stats (31 July 2017, "Five Centuries After the Reformation," p. 4), 42% of Germans polled self-identified as Catholic. However, according to the official records of the German Catholic Church (based on the church tax), less than 28% were listed as Catholic.</ref><ref>Also see: "German Catholics' Path to Heaven Comes with Taxes," Sylvia Poggioli, ''All Things Considered'', NPR, 9 October, 2012.</ref>
According to the [[CIA Factbook]] and the [[Pew Research Center]], the five countries with the largest number of Catholics are, in decreasing order of Catholic population:

The country where the membership of the church is the largest percentage of the population is [[Vatican City]] at 100%, followed by [[Timor-Leste]] at 97%.
