the roman church is however hiding the biggest issue that the protestant evangelists who have succeeded into removing tens of millions of former catholics in the phillipines, south america, and the latinos in the USA from the roman catholic fold. I asked one catholic about this, he said "Well we have to at least concentrate on making the faith of those who still believe stronger" I personally believe that to the roman church, as long as spain, portugal, france, southern germany, the irish, italians, poles, and latinos remain catholic as a vast majority, it will be happy. There is no such thing as that former impetus to spread the faith lets say to the staunch lutherans in sweeden. in short, the church is happy with what it has.
