Latin Catholicism is the largest group within Varshani Christianity, with 74% of Varshani Christians identifying themselves as being "united to the [[Pope]]" in a February 2030 survey. Among these, analysts and theologians have noted an overwelming propensity for {{wp|liberation theology}}. Many of these experts have posited that the simple brutality of Zurgite slavery necessitated a "Christianity of hope of liberation" among Varshani Christians. | |||
A special liturgical {wp|Use (liturgy)|use}} for Catholics in Varshan has been a source of significant debate within the Catholic Church. Many respected theologians and liturgical experts argue that many of the norms of [[Orthodox Arzalism]] are too "brutal" or otherwise completely incompatible with Catholic views of human dignity that no elements can be used for a special local adaptation of the Mass. Another faction, particularly those clerics from [[Crona]], argue that it is absolutely necessary for widespread adoption of the Catholic faith. | |||
A small number of Varshani Catholics in the far eastern part of the country - around 10% - described themselves as [[Coscivian Catholic]]. | |||
The Catholic Church in Varshan presently comprises four Latin rite bishops - three from [[Levantia]] and one from [[Pelaxia]] - and one Coscivian rite bishop from [[Kiravia]]. The activities of the Church include, in addition to its usual responsibilities of charity and good works to the poor, is participation in cultural redducation programs intended to impart a greater view of human worth and dignity than previously existed during the Zurgite period. | |||
