three years the single largest banned religious community in the world.

The Church of the Latin Rite is traditionally associated with historical pockets of citizens of Polish
ancestry who lived mainly in the central and western regions. It uses the Polish, Latin, Ukrainian and
Russian as liturgical languages.
