The Church of Humanity is a fictional organization appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. It is an anti-mutant, Christian-based religious sect. It was created by Joe Casey, though Uncanny X-Men writer Chuck Austen featured the hate group in a controversial storyline which involved an elaborate plan to install the recently ordained Nightcrawler as Pope and stage a false Rapture using incendiary communion wafers as part of a plot to topple the Catholic Church.
