The Catholic Church in Luxembourg is part of the worldwide Catholic Church, under the spiritual leadership of the Pope and curia in Rome. The whole country is covered by the Archdiocese of Luxembourg. The Catholic Church in Luxembourg was always a part of the Catholic Church in Germany or Belgium. The independence of the church in Luxembourg began on June 2, 1840 when the Grand Duchy was elevated to an Apostolic prefecture. The elevation to apostolic vicariate followed on September 27, 1870. However, problems between church and state appeared, sparked by the appointment of Johann Theodor Laurent, originally from Aachen, who was considered an ultramonte. His appointment was kept a secret on the express wishes of the ruler William II, a move which met with great disapproval in the state chancellery.
