My argument about South America and Africa is that if Catholocism was a true force for good....Wouldn't we see reductions in poverty? After all, the sum of the Bible can be found in the teachings of Jesus concerning helping others, and holiness. Given the results of the Catholic church...It's hard to say that they've been an overall force for good.

Of course, maybe I'm biased. They killed a lot of protestants because we thought differently.

Is it the Catholic Church's sole job to be the savior of South America and Africa in the sense of economic revival?

Don't you think that when you have nations that are 70%+ Catholic, and have been that way since their founding that their religion would have at least a slight correlation between their their religion and any other area of life, much less economy?



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
