So many Spanish and Irish missionaries went all over the world and were rewarded but the churches in Spain and Ireland today are no longer filled as in the past. Go figure. I'm from an Irish backround and a practicing Catholic but my kids and nieces and nephews raised like me and my siblings they just don't have the faith. It puzzles me. Isn't it amazing that today in America we have priests from Africa comming into our parishes and serving us. Was that Gods plan with those early missionaries?
I got sick of the novus ordo mass in the 1980’s. We go to a Traditional Latin Mass not affiliated with the Roman Protestant Church. 80% of American Catholics stopped attending after Vatican 2. One of our local priests was ordained by Bishop Williamson, who was excommunicated by JP2. The CMRI is growing quite well. The churches still have tabernacles and confessionals. By their fruits you shall know them.
Also a born again Christian and a convert to the Catholic Church. I will pray for you and a return to the fullness of Jesus Christ thru his sacraments. God bless.
Jesus has nothing to do with the sacraments. Jesus died for our sins. Why are catholics required to go to confession for forgiveness of sin and for their salvation?
@casey8726 “Jesus has nothing to do with the sacraments” Honestly, where do prots get this stuff? Do you people just sit around trying to think of heresies (all of which have already been thought of and leveled by the Church) and ways to insult Catholics?
Play well, the sacraments will not wipe away your sins. Only the blood of Jesus Christ shed for you on the cross, it paid your sin debt in full. Sacraments are a work an effort to get to God. God came to us through Jesus Christ, the son of the living God. Receive him today, repent and be born again. Read God‘s word. Start with the book of John you will meet Jesus Christ. God‘s word says all our work are as filthy rags. Performing those sacraments will not save you from sin and hell. Only his shed blood.
In Philippines if sunday the holly mass schedule in the city will start from 6:am and closed at 10 pm mostly we attended by standing only.. God bless Philippines! this is ordinary days only but for holidays especially Christmas and holy week midnight mass we are sleeping in the church before it start just to secure a chair this is what we used to since my childhood with my family.
I am Filipino too and the only problem I saw with that is there are too many vacant seats inside the church however people are staying outside the church which to me is not acceptable. We should be as close to Jesus as possible by going inside the church and listen attentively to every word said in the MASS CELEBRATION. Every word said in MASS has deep meaning from self acknowledgment of our venial sins that we committed that week. Listening attentively to each gospel readings, what do we need to change in our lives from the gospel readings that Sunday and then the consecration prayers which we all need to hear clearly because it is the NEW COVENANT of Jesus and us Catholics. Lastly the last blessings given by the priest to us all to give us energy/ patience and perseverance to stay holy for the whole week until the next Sunday. Every Sunday our venial sins are forgiven from attending mass except for mortal sins that we need to go to confession. I pray all Filipinos will truly be attentive with the MASS because Jesus deserves truly our full attention every MASS. It is our acknowledgment of HIS sacrifice for our sins and HIS LOVE for humanity.

Uganda, next door to Kenya, home to 22 Uganda martyrs killed in the 19th century and canonized 60 years ago on 3rd June by Pope Paul VI, has massive mass attendance including daily mass. June 3 has become an international attraction for pilgrims. The number of youth who are strong Catholics is inspiring! Theres many Ugandan missionary priests now in USA, Rome, UK, etc. That said, certainly are many fine Nigerian missionary priests in USA, N. America etc. All by God's grace and to His glory 🙌.

As an Indian, I completely agree. I am subscribed to a RUclips channel called Ugandan Catholics Online. You really get to see Catholicism in its finest glory in Uganda.
When I was sent to Afghanistan with the army I remember attending Mass and listening to the choir made up of Ugandan contract workers. They sang so beautifully. The only instrument they had was a tambourine but they would use their voices to imitate the sounds of instruments. It was amazing.

We have daily Mass in my town in Northern Ireland. Apparently over 40% of the population attend weekly, and my experience is that a lot of people try to attend several times in the week, elderly people, but also many Mums with their kids, and Dads when they aren't working.

You can also pay a visit to both Saint Rafqa and Saint Hardini's monasteries (which are very close to each others). God bless Lebanon and the catholic faith it has
I am from Uganda, and growing up as a little girl in the late eighties, I remember my mum having a very special devotion to St. Charbel. She had a picture of him by her bedside. Everything she said was about him..."Bring me my this/that, it's near St. Charbel's picture...take this/that to my room and put it near St. Charbel's picture...who took my this/that, it was near St. Charbels picture?" Then we would say, "Mummy, I have a stomach CAKE," and she would say "Ohhh let's ask St. Charbel to pray to God to take this stomach CAKE away😊" She also had Holy Oil from him, which she would place with a sign of the Cross on our foreheads. We were always fascinated by his picture as kids. St. Charbel, pray for us 🙏 ❤
@@amschelmayer.7092 India is a big country. people with different races, at least about 28 languages. India is about 75% Hindus, above 20% Islam, then Sikhs, Buddhists,Parsi and 2% Christian's ( includes Catholic, Protestant, Orthodox). North eastern India has a Christian majority, racially they look mostly like asian with small eyes. Early they were mostly nomadic tribes with violent acts like head hunting, but now with the conversation of Christianity they left those. South India also has a Christian population of 20%, though they are small in population but have dominance in society with high literacy rate and education qualifications, racially they look more brown than North Indias. They also make up a large number of immigrant workers in Europe and Gulf as nurses. North India is where Christian's are mostly persecuted in India by Hindus. They have marginalised life and least access to the social system system.
You don't get salvation by going to mass. You have been lied to. I am the Way, the Truth and the Life; no one comes to the Father except through Me. Who told you that you get salvation by going to the catholic mass? They lied to you and you believed them. You have been deceived. God does not deceive you. the devil does and has. May God bless you and open the eyes of your heart.
@@casey8726 You are more deceived by satan, with 40,000 congregation of protestants, it does not make sense at all that it is guided by OUR ONE HOLY SPIRIT. It makes more sense that the devil is guiding it because with that number there is truly confusion not the ONENESS as our Lord Jesus prayed for.
I can't believe Timor L'est, Goa, Ghana and Cote d'Ivoire didn't make the list of percentage of Catholics who attend mass, the only place I'd expect to be higher would be the Vatican City!
What about India. In our parishes on weekdays 3 or 4 ministers must distribute communion. Sundays are much more. Kindly Visit India, especially Kerala and North East India.
How is the Vietnamese population? Isn't there some strange mass goings on in Denver? In a sense that may not mean much since darkness is often attracted to Light(Grace).
I agree. 50s is actually not high. In general, baptized Catholics have become lukewarm. We need to go back to mass and sacraments for peace in the world.
The Black Nazarene Procession is only in Manila. What's more phenomenal in the Philippines is the Misa de Gallo (Mass of the Rooster) attendance from Dec16-24, usually around 4am. Churches are always overflowing with mass goers and this is all over the country.
Was in Croatia in 2001 after the war and was blown away by the reverence of the people there, it put us to shame the way we are so unreverend here in Europe
4:40- At the beginning of the video, I openly said that I don't expect to see Kenya on this list. I'm a Protestant Kenyan, but I am very pleasantly surprised. I'm happy to be wrong on this count. My fellow citizens and brothers and sisters in the faith, may God bless you all. May the love of Christ shine in you like the sun.
@@julieelizabeth4856 it was first brought by German and English missionaries in the early-mid 1800s. They'd build mission stations and schools to spread literacy and to preach the Gospel. Catholic orders also did the same, but not to the same extent. But the Anglican Church really benefited from British colonial rule from the 1890s to 1963. It's currently the most influential denomination in the country.
For those who are traditional Roman Catholics, even those who hold the sedevacantist position, I’ve noticed in the U.S. a lot of their churches are full for Mass (for the churches that have their Mass online). I’ve watched the Mass online that was updated by the Second Vatican Council and a lot of those churches in the U.S. are almost empty. A friend of mine goes to the updated Mass in Portland, Oregon, and he complains there usually 5 or 6 other people there. The beautiful Latin Mass brings in many people.
the top five are strategically located. Colombia in between of South and North America. Lebanon middle of Europe and Middle East. Kenya east and Nigeria west of Africa. Philippines in Asia. Praise be to God. 🙏
Unfortunately many Filipinos are becoming born again. I feel sad hearing that a lot of my friends became born again. They just do not know the Holy sacraments are the best source of graces from God that will direct us straight to Heaven. I think the church needs to be more honest with its dark history so that it does not shock Catholics when a protestant mentions it to us Catholics. I got shocked myself however the dark history is man made not the Catholic church itself because Jesus promised that the gates of hell will never prevail against the Catholic church. Jesus truly founded our Catholic church and gave us the Sacraments as life eternal giving/ source of graces to humanity to become truly members of the ONE VINE, JESUS BODY on earth which HE HIMSELF FEEDS WITH HIS BODY and waters it with HIS BLOOD. I pray we all Catholics recognize God's wisdom when HE gifted us the SACRAMENTS only found in the Catholic church.
The Novus Ordo mass, the new mass, leads them into the protestant sects. The theology of the new mass is similar to protestantism, minimizing the sacrificial nature of mass and praying as if for a meal (compare the offertories!). The role of the priest is minimized, that of the congregation maximized. This was all deliberate and based on the new doctrines very subtly introduced at Vatican II. I think if we get a wiser pope, these things will be fixed and perhaps the loss of our faithful will begin to stop.
You don't get salvation by going to mass. You have been lied to. I am the Way, the Truth and the Life; no one comes to the Father except through Me. Who told you that you get salvation by going to the catholic mass? They lied to you and you believed them. You have been deceived. God does not deceive you. the devil does and has. May God bless you and open the eyes of your heart.
We recently had a beautiful Nigerian priest in our parish. He only came for a few weeks, between studying for advanced degrees. Fr Nebu was a was full of the Holy Spirit and the joy emanated from him. Everyone was taken with him and we were all sorry to say goodbye. I became interested in Nigeria as a result and started reading up on its history, watching films and I found a treasure trove of liturgical liturgical music on UTube. These countries are the fruit of the missionaries that went to far flung countries to bring the faith. Fr Nebu told me that the attacks on churches and murdering of Catholics is taking place in the northern parts of the country, where Muslims are trying to establish a caliphate. So much for the ‘ religion of peace’
Proud to be a catholic. From Mumbai lndia. In our country every Sunday we attend the mass. Devotion for mama Mary , we celebrate her birthday September 8 th with noveenas. Jesus is the light of the world.
Some thing realy wrong... If 60 % is high.. Then india should be in the list may be 80 % or more... If u consider only Christian majority country s. Then it make sense
Soy mexicana y vivo en la ciudad de México, y es verdad, muchos de mis parientes, vecinos y amigos que aún se consideran católicos, ya no van a misa y algunos de ellos ya tampoco creen en Dios. 😭 Muchísima gente ya no van a misa ni siquiera en las bodas ni en Semana Santa ni Navidad.
As a Born again Christian I’m amazed. I was a Catholic for my whole life, until the age of 44. I still honor and respect, the Church and Catholicism. I grew up in NY, as a child the whole neighborhood, evolved around the Church in our area. Holy Family. My mother was a Roman Catholic, who went to mass every morning at 6:00am. May God bless everyone ✝️🇺🇸!
May Our Lady of Sorrows lead you to her Son Christ the King, Emmanuel God With Us in the Holy Eucharist and His unchanged One Holy Catholic Apostolic Church.

I’m a Maronite from Lebanon and I’m proud ❤️🇱🇧 A short message to my Catholic brothers from the world: Lebanon is Catholic, it was created for and by Catholics in 1920 by Maronites and French. It was stolen by Islamists and Arabists after the civil war. Please help us keep this beautiful pious country which is the home of Saints, like St. Charbel (most miraculous Saint after the Virgin), and God’s glory for the Catholic faith. 🇱🇧🇻🇦 Isaiah 35:2.
Why not say who killed all those martyrs in Nigeria? Why not say there used to be so many more Catholics in Lebanon just 50 years ago? You should explain what happened and who was involved.
Long Island NY, USA. Mass attendance is way down, going steadily down for decades, even less since the pandemic. Exception is traditional Latin rite. Standing room only if you don’t get there early.
@@casey8726 It certainly is the grace of God that saves us and gives us eternal life (zoe in Greek). The Mass strengthens that saving life of grace begun in Baptism which is why Jesus said “Unless you eat my flesh and drink my Blood you have no life (zoe) in you.” Without the Eucharist we are weaker and risk losing the Holy Spirit and the state of grace. I say this not because I want to try and win arguments but only because it is the truth that would bring you so much joy if you were to discover it for yourself. God bless you
@@casey8726 Trust in Jesus is my only hope!!! It is the words of Jesus that I quoted to you. He left us a Church and He acts through the sacraments that He himself gave us to strengthen us. But at the end of the day our entire salvation depends upon trust in Him. Your way of belief in Christ only came into existence a few hundred years ago. Read Ignatius of Antioch, Ireneaus, Clement of Rome and you will see that you are “protesting” against His Church. Those men knew the Apostolic Generation and they all believed what I believe. Martin Luther snatched your spiritual fathers out of the safety of the one holy universal and apostolic Church.

In Viet Nam the Catholics go to church almost every Sunday. Like almost ALL the Catholics do. No shortage of vocations. Every Catholic Mass from the Saturday vigil to all day on Sundays is packed to overflow. And there are towns in Viet Nam where it's 99.8% Catholic! The only large, major church in all of Viet Nam is actually the Catholic church. There are very few Protestants or other churches. Over 8 million Catholics in Viet Nam and one of the most active Catholic population in the entire world. Also, Viet Nam has more Catholic martyrs than the rest of the world does.
The Vietnamese are having a very big effect on the Japanese Church as well as they arrive to work. The Japanese Church is almost dead and needs all the help it can get.
I live in San Francisco 🌉. Some churches I attended were less than 40% full on weekdays. 4 The Philippines 🇵🇭. When I was there in 2022, I attended a Metro Manila church. On weekdays not on Fridays, it filled up to 80%! 🤯
Please CoRRECT an ERROR in yr narration. U said the procession was to adore the stague. We do NOT asore stsyues. Statues are paraded as a form of commemoration of the Fesat day & as an evangelizing tool.
I think is the opposite! The faith is renewed! I felt the urge to go to my local church, hadn’t attended mass alone as an adult, it was so beautiful and amazing. Our Priest is amazing! It is a large antique church and it is always filled and growing every Sunday. Many young people!
@@ritaamor283 my in person evidence is that anytime I visit Europe, churches are only attended by the very old and the very young. Belgium, France and even Spain. In England, hundreds of churches are now mosques, Hindu temples or restaurants.
@@derykdavid2849 yes and you are partially right, that has been the reality! but something is shifting. I am writing from Portugal, you now can see so many adult young people attending mass.

Here in Ireland, up to about the 1980s, mass attendance was around 99 percent for Catholics. Now it's around 30 percent. We got richer so less religious.. I remember the country churchyard used to be half empty of cars, but the church full of people. Now the little car park is full but the church mostly empty...

I am from Uganda, and growing up as a little girl in the late eighties, I remember my mum having a very special devotion to St. Charbel. She had a picture of him by her bedside. Everything she said was about him..."Bring me my this/that, it's near St. Charbel's picture...take this/that to my room and put it near St. Charbel's picture...who took my this/that, it was near St. Charbels picture?" Then we would say, "Mummy, I have a stomach CAKE," and she would say "Ohhh let's ask St. Charbel to pray to God to take this stomach CAKE away😊" She also had Holy Oil from him, which she would place with a sign of the Cross on our foreheads. We were always fascinated by his picture as kids. St. Charbel, pray for us 🙏 ❤

In Dubai UAE in St Mary's Church 500,000 people attend Mass each week. In one church.
Full of Filipinos!
I was able to attend mas 2x most of the people attendance are Indian nationals...
@@enriquemejia2171 Christian Indians? I wouldn't be Hindus, would it?
@@amschelmayer.7092
India is a big country.
people with different races, at least about 28 languages.
India is about 75% Hindus, above 20% Islam, then Sikhs, Buddhists,Parsi and 2% Christian's ( includes Catholic, Protestant, Orthodox).
North eastern India has a Christian majority, racially they look mostly like asian with small eyes. Early they were mostly nomadic tribes with violent acts like head hunting, but now with the conversation of Christianity they left those.
South India also has a Christian population of 20%, though they are small in population but have dominance in society with high literacy rate and education qualifications, racially they look more brown than North Indias.
They also make up a large number of immigrant workers in Europe and Gulf as nurses.
North India is where Christian's are mostly persecuted in India by Hindus.
They have marginalised life and least access to the social system system.
@@jeswinjosebaby6630 Very informative. Cheers for that, brother!

Going to Mass of course is for your salvation, but the benefits to society are multifold!!
You don't get salvation by going to mass. You have been lied to.
I am the Way, the Truth and the Life; no one comes to the Father except through Me.
Who told you that you get salvation by going to the catholic mass? They lied to you and you believed them. You have been deceived.

@@casey8726 You are more deceived by satan, with 40,000 congregation of protestants, it does not make sense at all that it is guided by OUR ONE HOLY SPIRIT. It makes more sense that the devil is guiding it because with that number there is truly confusion not the ONENESS as our Lord Jesus prayed for.
@@Sanee-n1l No. You are deceived by the devil.
Do you get to Heaven by going to mass?

I can't believe Timor L'est, Goa, Ghana and Cote d'Ivoire didn't make the list of percentage of Catholics who attend mass, the only place I'd expect to be higher would be the Vatican City!
What a beautiful video!! Thank you for sharing ❤
May I ask, where do you find spiritual nourishment? What church do you attend?"
What about India. In our parishes on weekdays 3 or 4 ministers must distribute communion. Sundays are much more. Kindly Visit India, especially Kerala and North East India.
I live in Denver CO, every Catholic mass I've attended is packed.
How is the Vietnamese population? Isn't there some strange mass goings on in Denver? In a sense that may not mean much since darkness is often attracted to Light(Grace).
City of Mangalore in India!
I expected Slovakia and Poland on the list. Ireland also. Happy to be wrong and so proud to see such diversity in our church.
Lots of diversity, but no Jesus. You have been deceived.

@@jinniroe5002 💯! 🙏🏼❤️
Mass attendance rate in Ireland is 27%. They need some Nigerian missionaries!
😂 reverse theory❤
27% is a lot for a Western Country. In Countries like Germany, France and so on only between 4-6% of the People go to Mass.
Its very simple and like a weighing scale. As you grow up in richness the moral and spiritual side goes down.
What I find tragic is that percentages in the 50s are considered high and strong. 😢😢
I agree. 50s is actually not high. In general, baptized Catholics have become lukewarm. We need to go back to mass and sacraments for peace in the world.
The Black Nazarene Procession is only in Manila. What's more phenomenal in the Philippines is the Misa de Gallo (Mass of the Rooster) attendance from Dec16-24, usually around 4am. Churches are always overflowing with mass goers and this is all over the country.
One of the most amazing things the Philippines has is the largest statue of Divine Mercy. It’s unbelievably beautiful!!!
Christmas in the Philippines ends in February when the Christmas season in the Church officially ends.
Great to see that the Christians away from Europe are carrying the true practice of faith!❤☦️
La resistenza c'è anche nell 'Europa occidentale,purtroppo non si vede molto.
Was in Croatia in 2001 after the war and was blown away by the reverence of the people there, it put us to shame the way we are so unreverend here in Europe
4:40- At the beginning of the video, I openly said that I don't expect to see Kenya on this list. I'm a Protestant Kenyan, but I am very pleasantly surprised. I'm happy to be wrong on this count.
My fellow citizens and brothers and sisters in the faith, may God bless you all. May the love of Christ shine in you like the sun.
Who first brought Protestantism to Kenya? Genuinely curious.
@@julieelizabeth4856 it was first brought by German and English missionaries in the early-mid 1800s. They'd build mission stations and schools to spread literacy and to preach the Gospel. Catholic orders also did the same, but not to the same extent.
But the Anglican Church really benefited from British colonial rule from the 1890s to 1963. It's currently the most influential denomination in the country.

For those who are traditional Roman Catholics, even those who hold the sedevacantist position, I’ve noticed in the U.S. a lot of their churches are full for Mass (for the churches that have their Mass online). I’ve watched the Mass online that was updated by the Second Vatican Council and a lot of those churches in the U.S. are almost empty. A friend of mine goes to the updated Mass in Portland, Oregon, and he complains there usually 5 or 6 other people there. The beautiful Latin Mass brings in many people.
Our beautiful parish St Mary's has hundreds at the NO Mass. We are blessed with holy priests. Glory to God 🙏
Misleading fewer churches longer travel
You missed India whi h has a high attendance of Catholics at Mass
the top five are strategically located. Colombia in between of South and North America. Lebanon middle of Europe and Middle East. Kenya east and Nigeria west of Africa. Philippines in Asia. Praise be to God. 🙏
We have packed churches on Sundays in India inspite of us Christians being a minority...
beautiful! thank you for sharing!
Praise and thanks be to God for all past , present, and future missionaries may they and their mission continue to be Blessed 🙌 AMEN 🙏
Unfortunately many Filipinos are becoming born again. I feel sad hearing that a lot of my friends became born again. They just do not know the Holy sacraments are the best source of graces from God that will direct us straight to Heaven. I think the church needs to be more honest with its dark history so that it does not shock Catholics when a protestant mentions it to us Catholics. I got shocked myself however the dark history is man made not the Catholic church itself because Jesus promised that the gates of hell will never prevail against the Catholic church. Jesus truly founded our Catholic church and gave us the Sacraments as life eternal giving/ source of graces to humanity to become truly members of the ONE VINE, JESUS BODY on earth which HE HIMSELF FEEDS WITH HIS BODY and waters it with HIS BLOOD. I pray we all Catholics recognize God's wisdom when HE gifted us the SACRAMENTS only found in the Catholic church.
The Novus Ordo mass, the new mass, leads them into the protestant sects. The theology of the new mass is similar to protestantism, minimizing the sacrificial nature of mass and praying as if for a meal (compare the offertories!). The role of the priest is minimized, that of the congregation maximized. This was all deliberate and based on the new doctrines very subtly introduced at Vatican II. I think if we get a wiser pope, these things will be fixed and perhaps the loss of our faithful will begin to stop.
You don't get salvation by going to mass. You have been lied to.
I am the Way, the Truth and the Life; no one comes to the Father except through Me.

❤❤❤. Sri Lanka Catholic population is about 8% but has a high mass attendance over 90%.
We recently had a beautiful Nigerian priest in our parish. He only came for a few weeks, between studying for advanced degrees. Fr Nebu was a was full of the Holy Spirit and the joy emanated from him. Everyone was taken with him and we were all sorry to say goodbye. I became interested in Nigeria as a result and started reading up on its
history, watching films and I found a treasure trove of liturgical liturgical music on UTube. These countries are the fruit of the missionaries that went to far flung countries to bring the faith. Fr Nebu told me that the attacks on churches and murdering of Catholics is taking place in the northern parts of the country, where Muslims are trying to establish a caliphate. So much for the ‘ religion of peace’
A proud Nigerian 🇳🇬 catholic 👏 here
Proud of you as an Anglican Nigerian
Thank God I am a Catholic from Nigeria
Jesus loves you, anyway. Trust Jesus for forgiveness of sins and for your salvation.
Nigéria is not a safe country for Christians.
Proud to be a catholic. From Mumbai lndia. In our country every Sunday we attend the mass. Devotion for mama Mary , we celebrate her birthday September 8 th with noveenas.
Jesus is the light of the world.
Some thing realy wrong... If 60 % is high.. Then india should be in the list may be 80 % or more... If u consider only Christian majority country s. Then it make sense
Most people don't know india has a Christian population.
Well India has only 2% Christian population
Colombia and Lebanon, beautiful 👍🏼
The Nigerians have guts. God bless them.
I’m surprised that Mexico didn’t make the list. I’m a Catholic Colombian or I I can say 🇨🇴 Catholic 😊
Mexico is losing attendance rapidly. They just voted in a Marxist, feminist.
We are on the wrong path here in the US too.
Soy mexicana y vivo en la ciudad de México, y es verdad, muchos de mis parientes, vecinos y amigos que aún se consideran católicos, ya no van a misa y algunos de ellos ya tampoco creen en Dios. 😭 Muchísima gente ya no van a misa ni siquiera en las bodas ni en Semana Santa ni Navidad.
As a Born again Christian I’m amazed. I was a Catholic for my whole life, until the age of 44. I still honor and respect, the Church and Catholicism. I grew up in NY, as a child the whole neighborhood, evolved around the Church in our area. Holy Family. My mother was a Roman Catholic, who went to mass every morning at 6:00am. May God bless everyone ✝️🇺🇸!
You might want to try and go back to the Catholic Faith..GOD Bless you as well!
May Our Lady of Sorrows lead you to her Son Christ the King, Emmanuel God With Us in the Holy Eucharist and His unchanged One Holy Catholic Apostolic Church.

I’m a Maronite from Lebanon and I’m proud ❤️🇱🇧
A short message to my Catholic brothers from the world: Lebanon is Catholic, it was created for and by Catholics in 1920 by Maronites and French. It was stolen by Islamists and Arabists after the civil war. Please help us keep this beautiful pious country which is the home of Saints, like St. Charbel (most miraculous Saint after the Virgin), and God’s glory for the Catholic faith. 🇱🇧🇻🇦 Isaiah 35:2.
Columbia, Philippines, Lebanon, Kenya, Nigeria
Wow.i am Colombian.Praise the Lord.
Poland, italy, Mexico, Slovakia, Spain, Ireland, USA and so many more... the church universal.
México sadly is between 30 %and 40%
Why not say who killed all those martyrs in Nigeria? Why not say there used to be so many more Catholics in Lebanon just 50 years ago? You should explain what happened and who was involved.
Bruh the one talking is an AI
Mohammadans, but of course they won’t say that because of political correctness.
All those christian catholic Martyrs both in nigeria and lebanon, they are killed by muslims.
The killing was done by Islam the "religion of peace."
Lebanon is known for many saints also
And youngs are among the most attendees of prayers and mass
Nigeria God bless them an example indeed for all! 🙏
Long Island NY, USA. Mass attendance is way down, going steadily down for decades, even less since the pandemic. Exception is traditional Latin rite. Standing room only if you don’t get there early.
Philippines my motherland. Still go to church 1-2x a week in California ❤️😊
Will you go back?
The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the Church.
Mangalore Diocese Karnataka India 🇮🇳
Churches are full on Sundays and feast days .
I don’t know the exact figures but Herzegovina is almost 100% practicing among Catholics. They are incredible!
Going to mass doesn't get you into Heaven. The Grace of God does.
Another catholic lie
@@casey8726 It certainly is the grace of God that saves us and gives us eternal life (zoe in Greek). The Mass strengthens that saving life of grace begun in Baptism which is why Jesus said “Unless you eat my flesh and drink my Blood you have no life (zoe) in you.” Without the Eucharist we are weaker and risk losing the Holy Spirit and the state of grace. I say this not because I want to try and win arguments but only because it is the truth that would bring you so much joy if you were to discover it for yourself. God bless you
@@RandomThoughts77777 Why don't you trust Jesus for forgiveness of sin and for your salvation?
@@casey8726 Trust in Jesus is my only hope!!! It is the words of Jesus that I quoted to you. He left us a Church and He acts through the sacraments that He himself gave us to strengthen us. But at the end of the day our entire salvation depends upon trust in Him. Your way of belief in Christ only came into existence a few hundred years ago. Read Ignatius of Antioch, Ireneaus, Clement of Rome and you will see that you are “protesting” against His Church. Those men knew the Apostolic Generation and they all believed what I believe. Martin Luther snatched your spiritual fathers out of the safety of the one holy universal and apostolic Church.

In Viet Nam the Catholics go to church almost every Sunday.
Like almost ALL the Catholics do. No shortage of vocations.
Every Catholic Mass from the Saturday vigil to all day on Sundays is packed to overflow.
And there are towns in Viet Nam where it's 99.8% Catholic! The only large, major church in all of Viet Nam is actually the Catholic church. There are very few Protestants or other churches. Over 8 million Catholics in Viet Nam and one of the most active Catholic population in the entire world. Also, Viet Nam has more Catholic martyrs than the rest of the world does.
The Vietnamese are having a very big effect on the Japanese Church as well as they arrive to work. The Japanese Church is almost dead and needs all the help it can get.
I live in San Francisco 🌉. Some churches I attended were less than 40% full on weekdays.
4 The Philippines 🇵🇭. When I was there in 2022, I attended a Metro Manila church. On weekdays not on Fridays, it filled up to 80%! 🤯
Please CoRRECT an ERROR in yr narration. U said the procession was to adore the stague. We do NOT asore stsyues. Statues are paraded as a form of commemoration of the Fesat day & as an evangelizing tool.
Europe is now historically speaking - post Christian. America is getting there too… only a matter of time.
I think is the opposite! The faith is renewed! I felt the urge to go to my local church, hadn’t attended mass alone as an adult, it was so beautiful and amazing. Our Priest is amazing! It is a large antique church and it is always filled and growing every Sunday. Many young people!
@@ritaamor283 my in person evidence is that anytime I visit Europe, churches are only attended by the very old and the very young. Belgium, France and even Spain. In England, hundreds of churches are now mosques, Hindu temples or restaurants.
@@derykdavid2849 yes and you are partially right, that has been the reality! but something is shifting. I am writing from Portugal, you now can see so many adult young people attending mass.

In my diocese st.paul and Minneapolis every parish I visit is full every Saturday and Sunday
In Kerala, India people have to stand outside as it's pretty full on Sunday Masses.

Italian statistics agency, ISTAT, says only 19% catholics attend services at least weekly while 31% never attend.
Here in Ireland, up to about the 1980s, mass attendance was around 99 percent for Catholics. Now it's around 30 percent. We got richer so less religious.. I remember the country churchyard used to be half empty of cars, but the church full of people. Now the little car park is full but the church mostly empty...
Glory and praise be unto you Lord
We here in India 🇮🇳 are only 20 million living among 800 million pagan hindoos and 400 million pagan mooselims
