Wet Blanket time ebb.....

Maybe these concerned Bishops are afraid of something else....

From a recent article .........
Put another way, Africa’s Catholic population has grown from 1.9 million to 130 million. By 2025, almost three-quarters of the world’s Catholics will live in Africa. In fact, by 2050, assuming the current population trends continue, the largest Catholic national populations in descending order could be Brazil, Mexico, the Philippines, the United States, the Congo, Uganda, Italy, Nigeria, and Argentina. This means that the Catholic Church of the future is destined to become an overwhelmingly Southern world institution with the Vatican located 2,000 miles north.

Actually, Murph, I haven’t been too impressed with the “catholics” coming out of South America; Bergoglio being one of them.

Africa is another story, though, it doesn’t seem to have poisoned by liberation theology yet.
