Roman Catholicism is the third largest religious congregation in Bulgaria, after Eastern Orthodoxy and Islam. It has roots in the country since the Middle Ages and is part of the worldwide Roman Catholic Church, under the spiritual leadership of the Pope and curia in Rome. As an entity, the Catholic Church consists of two dioceses in Bulgaria, the Diocese of Sofia and Plovdiv and the Diocese of Nikopol, for those of the Latin Rite, and an exarchate with its seat in Sofia for those of the Eastern Rite.
The Eastern Catholic Churches are largely 'ethnic' in the sense of having congregations drawn from similar ancestry and language. The Western or Roman Rite is only one of many Catholic churches in communion with Rome.
