The Catholic Church in Palestine is part of the worldwide Catholic Church, under the spiritual leadership of the Pope in Rome.
There are over 80,000 Catholics in the State of Palestine (including Jerusalem) mostly in the agglomeration between Ramallah and Bethlehem, including the West Bank suburbs of Jerusalem. Adherents are mostly of the Latin Church, but there are also small communities of the Melkite Catholic Patriarchate of Antioch and Jerusalem, belonging to the Melkite Catholic Church, as well as the Maronite Church. All three are in full communion with the Holy See as part of the worldwide Catholic Church.
There are two archbishops of Jerusalem, one for each jurisdiction. The jurisdiction of the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem in Jerusalem and the Palestinian territories includes 17 parishes, two of which are in Jerusalem. The current Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem is Pierbattista Pizzaballa.
