In the Dominican Republic, freedom of worship is established in the Constitution. At present, it is difficult to obtain the exact percentage of religious affiliation because the question was eliminated from the 1970 census questionnaire. According to the latest census results, the predominant religion group is Roman Catholic with 95% of the population.
The Catholic Church has two Archdiocese: the first in America, in Santo Domingo and the other in Santiago de los Caballeros; as well as nine diocese, located in the provinces of La Vega, Higuey, San Juan de la Maguana, Barahona, San Francisco de Macorís, Montecristi, Baní, Puerto Plata, and San Pedro de Macorís.
