re: #164 Paco from Sefarad

“Roma” is not a religion. The Roma people, aka Gypsies, are 100% Roman Catholics.

I’m afraid that’s not true in the least. Roma tend to be the religion of whatever area they’re in. In the Balkans, there are Christian and Muslim populations, and the Christian can be Eastern Orthodox or Catholic. In the rest of Europe, there are Protestant Roma.

Of course, since they’re an oppressed group, they’re not generally fully allowed to participate in religious life, so how much they really are members of any religion is open to debate.
