This is talking about Byzantine-rite Catholics in Greece. There are also Roman rite Catholics in Greece, a legacy of Venetian rule. Some of the islands remained under Venice for a long time after the Turks conquered the Greek mainland. I think the island of Syros has quite a few Catholics although I don’t know what percentage they are of the island’s total population. There is a Catholic cathedral in Athens—when I lived there, there was a large number of people there for Sunday Mass (but I don’t know how many were tourists or non-Greeks residing in Athens).

Yes, I know that. Nothing changes because of that point.
