Catholic churches in Morocco. Cathedral of Casablanca
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The Catholic Church in Morocco has two archdioceses that are not subject to national jurisdiction within a national church but are subject to the universal jurisdiction of the pope, bishop of Rome, within the “Universal Church. ”
The two archdioceses, with their seats in Tangier and Rabat, include all the parishes in the territory of Morocco. In close communion with the Holy See, the bishops of the dioceses in Morocco are members of the North African Bishops’ Conference, which brings together the episcopates of Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and Libya. The Catholic Church is authorized by the constitution of Morocco. The Catholic Church is a minority religious community in Morocco.

Legislation on religious matters in Morocco
The state religion in Morocco is Islam. Two articles of the constitution provide a framework for freedom of religion, thus authorizing the Catholic Church:
Article 1 5: “the nation relies in its collective life on unifying constants, in this case the Muslim religion”.
Article 36: “Islam is the religion of the State and that of the Moroccan people, which guarantees to all the free exercise of worship.
In 2017, the Moroccan Supreme Council of Ulemas decreed that only those who “betray their country” are subject to the death penalty and no longer apostates who change their religion.
