how many Catholics are there really in Russia? It seems that nobody really knows nor is motivated to investigate. The only figures available are from the early 1990's. These official estimates used by the Catholic Church hold that there are 300,000 Catholics of the Latin Rite in Western Russia, 60,000 to 100,000 (35,000 foreigners) in Moscow.
The only way of determining a real number of Catholics in Russia must be based upon the numbers of faithful who frequent Holy Mass where ever and whenever it is celebrated. Thus, in Western Russia there would only seem to be about 10,000 Catholics who frequent Church on a regular basis (Moscow 3000 - 4000, St. Petersburg 2000, Kalingradskaja region 2000 - 3000, The Volga region and Urals 600 - 800, The North Caucuses 500 - 600, Central and Northern Russia - less than 500). On the major feasts of Christmas and Easter, the numbers of those coming to Church doubles.
Comparing to the number of people who belong to Orthodoxy, there is less then 0.5% of Catholics in Russia.
