The [[Coscivian Catholic Patriarchal Exarchate of Crona|Coscivian Catholic Church]] and [[Insular Apostolic Church]] are the largest religious bodies in Porfíria. Christian congregations and religious orders played an important role in the settlement of Avenirskara in particular, and in relations between Kiravian settlers and native Cronite peoples. There is a significant minority Latin Catholic presence found mainly in the Archangel Valley and among indigenous peoples and Levantine-Kiravian enclaves. | The [[Coscivian Catholic Patriarchal Exarchate of Crona|Coscivian Catholic Church]] and [[Insular Apostolic Church]] are the largest religious bodies in Porfíria.

There is a significant minority Latin Catholic presence found mainly in the Archangel Valley and among indigenous peoples and Levantine-Kiravian enclaves. Christian religious orders are important providers of education and social services in Porfíria; a legacy of its history as a frontier region where missionary and ecclesiastical institutions usually established themselves in a local area well before the effective extension of civil authority. | ||
Several thousand members of [[Abrigalasts|Abrigalast sects]] live in Porfíria. Most Porfírian Abrigalast communities descend (both historically and, for the most part, genetically) from two parties of Abrigalast immigrants that arrived during the early colonial period; the first in 1665 from [[Serikorda]] and the second in 1734 from [[Suderavia]]. Eager to avoid government influence due to the {{wp|Christian anarchism|Christian anarchist}} elements of their creed, Abrigalast pioneers were often at (if not ahead of) the vanguard of official Kiravian colonisation. There are around 30 Abrigalast [[Settlement_Movement#Models|coöperative settlements]] in the Porfírian colonies and possibly a similar number of congregations without an associated coöperative. However, the Abrigalast population is difficult to enumerate because most refuse to respond to the [[Kiravian Census]] and hundreds may live {{wp|off the grid|off-the-grid}} in remote areas. | Several thousand members of [[Abrigalasts|Abrigalast sects]] live in Porfíria.

The pre-colonial religious practices of the indigenous peoples of Porfíria fall under the umbrella of [[M'acunism]]. Only 20-30% of indigenous Porfírians identify M'acunism as their confession today, with the majority having converted to Christianity. However, extensive syncretism between M'acunistic and Christian spirituality is documented in indigenous communities. | |||
