Greenland is part of Catholic Europe


An interesting bit of trivia: Even though Greenland is closer to North America than Europe, Greenland is considered by the Catholic Church as part of the European Episcopal Conference. This is because Greenland historically fell under Scandanavian rule. Even today, Greenland is ecclesiastically dependent of the diocese of Copenhagen, Denmark.

While there are a few readers of this blog in Iceland, there are none that I know of living in Greenland. If there are any Greenlanders out there, give us a shout.
