Press coverage by ORF's religion.at and the Diocese of Linz of the Austrian Bishops' Conference's official Kirchenstatistik 2024, presented 17 September 2025 with a reference date of 31 December 2024, reporting the Catholic Church in Austria's own figures for schools, kindergartens and religious-order hospitals. The katholisch.at/statistik landing page confirms the 31 December 2024 reference date for the statistics package; the itemised institutional figures are read through this press coverage rather than the primary kathpress dossier, which sits behind a subscription paywall.
Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier2
Classed scholarly-estimate on the facts it backs: secondary press reporting of the Austrian Bishops' Conference's own official Kirchenstatistik 2024 figures, cross-confirmed identically across two independent outlets (ORF religion.at and the Diocese of Linz); the primary kathpress dossier could not be read directly as it is paywalled.
