Religion
The Colony's population is, for all practical purposes, enitrely Christian. The native Ignacians are strongly Roman Catholic, practising the Latin Rite. The Coscivian colonists are primarily Geldican Apostolic, but with a considerable Catholic minority consisting of Coscivian and Marcevangelista Catholics.
The native Ignacian congregations in the colony are an autonomous diocese of the Church of Rome in Kiravia, which uses Latin Rite liturgy. The other Catholic congregations are organised under the Diocese of Loyola (Marcevangelista Catholic) and the Diocese of Compostela (Coscivian Catholic)
Christianity is an important part of the culture and everyday life of the Colony. Ecclesiastical Latin and Old Irish, the liturgical language of the Apostolic Communion, are official languages, and Christmas, Easter, Holy Days of Obligation, and the feast days of St. Ignatius of Loyola and St. Patrick, as determined by both the Gregorian and Julian calendars, are civil holidays. 96% of the population attends Mass regularly, and most go to confession. Lenten fasting is widely observed. Christian churches also play a vital rôle in education, as 58% of pupils are educated in parochial or other religiously-affiliated schools.
Relations between Catholics and Apostolica are generally convivial, and adherents of both faiths worship in the jointly-managed Cathedral of St. Ignatius of Loyola in Loyola.
About 1.6% of the population follows a religion other than Christianity, this minority being almost entirely Rurican or Iduanist Coscivian Theists of Kaltem ethnicity.
