With roughly 70 million Catholics this subset of the Christian faith accounts for more than one fifth of the total population of the United States. Initially the faith spread throughout North America by missionaries from the Old World (the UK and Europe). But the Catholic Church in America now has more than 200 dioceses and the third highest number of believers in the world.
