The .католик top-level domain (TLD) is a specialized domain extension on the internet created for use by Catholic organizations and communities.
The .католик domain was launched in 2015 and is administered by the Pontifical Council for Social Communications (Pontificium Consilium de Communicationibus Socialibus), an organization responsible for communications and media within the Vatican.
The .католик domain is available for use by all Catholic organizations, communities, schools, churches, and other institutions affiliated with the Catholic Church. Using this domain provides an opportunity for creating a unique online presence for Catholic organizations and enhances their identification on the internet.
Like other specialized domain extensions, the .catholic domain ensures uniqueness and differentiation of Catholic organizations on the internet, making them more recognizable and accessible to the Catholic audience. However, the use of the .catholic domain is not limited solely to Catholic communities, and it can be registered and used by anyone who wishes to do so in accordance with the rules of domain name registration.
