Since Vatican II Africa Goes Downhill

The oft-repeated claim that Africa is a "success story" of the otherwise failed Second Vatican Council is a myth, Twitter user MrCasey reported on 22 January.

In 1900, Catholics made up 2% of Africa's total population. By the time of Vatican II - sixty years later - that figure had risen to 13%.

Since then - almost sixty years later - progress has slowed dramatically to 18% in 2020. The number of Catholics has only doubled, while the African population has tripled.

And fewer Catholics are receiving the sacraments. This article's image, taken from the Centre for Applied Research in the Apostolate (CARA), shows the rate of sacramental reception per 1,000 African Catholics. It is in steady decline.

The graph below shows the stagnation of Catholic population growth in Africa since the Second Vatican Council. In addition, in many parts of Africa, such as Madagascar, Islam is spreading among Catholics.

Since Vat II, the world has been in free fall. The devils were successful beyond their best hopes

Evangelicals are growing by leaps and bounds in Africa; Catholics are far behind.

Don't forget Latin America, where nearly all countries there before Vatican II, with the exception of Surinam, Guyanna whch had both high Protestant and Hindu populations, nearly all countries were solidly Roman Catholic. Before Vatican II, most of Latin America was 85-95% Catholic....so much so that few Protestant missionaries except Mormons attempted to make serious efforts there.
Today, thanks totally to VAtican II, the Liberation Theology movement/socil justice emphasis, and a spiritually bankrupt liturgy and heretic bishops, Catholic in total only comprise about 70 % of Latin America, and going down in all countries except Mexico.
Very sad. GArbage liturgy, worthless Bishops, and heretic Popes (Paul VI thru Francis ( but at least Benedict XVI tried to present himself as a Pope (and not just a bishop or "pastor", and he did allow for the LAtin Mass widely.)
We can thank Vatican II for the enormous losses in Latin America...and in fact, everywhere.

Sadly, the world is getting to be as dumb as a box of Vatican II bishops!
