Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Roman Catholic Church in the Isle of Man is part of the worldwide Roman Catholic Church, under the spiritual leadership of the Pope and curia in Rome. Although not part of the United Kingdom, for geopolitical reasons the Isle of Man is part of the Archdiocese of Liverpool. There are Catholic churches in all of the main towns, the largest being St. Mary of the Isle in Douglas. A large percentage of the Roman Catholics on the Isle of Man are Irish or of Irish descent. Following the English Reformation the allegiance of the Manx church to Rome was broken and Catholic practices forbidden. The running trade however brought trading links with Ireland, France and other Catholic countries thus providing a nucleus for a small Catholic community.
