.天主教 domain extension

.天主教 is the Chinese-character top-level domain for the Catholic Church. It is managed by the Pontifical Council for Social Communication, which operates out of Vatican City. The domain is intended for Catholic organizations, institutions, and individuals who wish to express their faith online. Registration is restricted to verified Catholic entities and individuals, ensuring the space remains aligned with the Church's mission. The TLD was delegated in November 2016, with the IANA report noting the sponsoring organization as the Pontifical Council. It gives the global Chinese-speaking Catholic community a clear, trusted namespace on the internet.
