Orthodoxy in Hungary

7 bytes added, 00:48, August 29, 2008
Church of Rome is not the same article as Roman Catholic Church.
There is no one, official, united Hungarian Orthodox Church. Many Orthodox Churches are present in the country or lay claim to some territory of the former Austro-Hungarian Empire, but most Byzantine or Eastern Christians of the modern, sovereign nation of Hungary belong to the Byzantine Catholics, united with the [[Pope]] of the [[Roman Catholic Church of Rome]].
Over 50% of the population of Hungary is Roman Catholic. Another 20% is Calvinist. The largest minority faith group is the Lutherans. Greek or Byzantine Catholics and Eastern Orthodox do not make up a significant percentage of the demographic.
