History
All of Denmark falls under a single Latin Church diocese named for its episcopal see, the national capital Copenhagen; its territory also takes in two Danish overseas possessions, the Faroe Islands and Greenland. Of the diocesan territory's 5,516,597 inhabitants, an estimated 36,000 (0.7%) are Catholics. The Diocese of Copenhagen is exempt, immediately subject to the Holy See. St. Ansgar's Cathedral is its principal church, and Czeslaw Kozon, appointed in 1995, is the current bishop.
