Post 14 (11/16)
After class today, I went and looked up more facts about Catholicism around the world and found these facts in addition to some tidbits Dr. Bolger shared in class today. I found that according to David Barrett, by 2025 1/6 of the world's Catholics will be in Africa (230 million). Also, the world's largest seminary is in Nigeria (not, apparently, in Pasadena, California). According to Dr. Bolger, some countries (like Angola) are now over 50% Catholic. Now there is some hope that one of the next Pope's will be from Africa now that it is such a huge percentage of Catholics. In fact, Archbishop Desmond Tutu has been one of the leading voices in this movement.
