Verona: Difference between revisions

Verona has a predominantly Christian history, with Catholicism being the largest single denomination in the state. This is due to the strong influence of neighboring Caphiria, having a Catholic majority and formerly having domain over the areas that would become Cartadania in the early 17th century. In fact, the father of [[Pope Gregory XVII]], the current pope, was born and raised in [[Cara County, Verona]]. However, the pope himself was born across the Mendes River in [[Alahuela]]. Approximately 54% of the state identifies as [[Catholic Church|Catholic]], while 32% identify as {{wp|irreligious}}, and the remaining 14% identify with various other religious groups.

Despite the separation of church and state being a prominent aspect of Cartadanian life, Verona's Catholic heritage is reflected in many of its historical governmental customs and practices. This is exemplified by the numerous cities and counties within the state named after Catholic saints and figures, as well as various buildings and streets that follow a similar trend. However, active participation in religion is relatively low in Verona compared to other regions in the country, especially areas that share a land border with Caphiria rather than maritime.
