The Catholic Church in Africa: A Growing Force in the Global Church
Africa is one of the fastest-growing regions for the Catholic Church, with millions of new baptisms and an increasing number of priestly vocations. Since 2013, the Catholic population has surged from 185 million to an estimated 230 million by 2025. While vocations are declining in Europe and the Americas, Africa continues to see growth, solidifying its role in the future of the Church.
Cardinal Francis Arinze and other key voices discuss the significance of this expansion, the impact of Blessed Cyprian Michael Tansi, and Pope Francis' commitment to the continent. With five papal visits to Africa, the Holy Father has emphasized the importance of pastoral care, addressing both spiritual and social challenges.
