If by 33 AD I told you the apostles of Christ would convert the entire Roman Empire in two hundred years after many sacrifices, you'd say the same thing.
Nope, just stop it. You claimed China had the worlds largest amount of Catholics then added that China has the biggest market for growth. One claim is verifiably horseshit the other claim is highly likely to be horse-shit. I asked you 'where you get your numbers from' and that what you said was provably false and now you deflect with some after the fact prediction of 'roman empire/ early catholic history'. BTW - the apostles also provably didn't convert the entire roman empire - it was just that Catholicism became a state approved religion after 'early Christianity from the mandates of Justinian' and so of course Catholicism - (of the papacy wasn't the same as 'early Christianity of rome' by hundreds of years - so stop conflating the two) therefore became the largest in the empire - although historically, we know there were still many adherents to the old ways (pagans , barbarians, heretics et al) all over the empire with significant uprisings and scorched earth policies bc of that from the time. So again you talking absolute unfounded rubbish ....
You are misrepresenting what I said.
Out of all countries in the world, China has the most Catholics. And out of all countries, the number of Catholics rises the most in raw numbers there, too. I know it sounds absurd, and I doubted that myself when I saw the numbers. But if even official numbers claim that, the true, non-official must be even higher.
You need to research into the persecutions of Christians in the Roman Empire before you claim this was solely an administrative issue.
What are you talking about ??. It simply doesn't, nor have you provided any actual evidence to the contrary . China is est as 6-12 million by official research agencies and catholic diocese groups. The following nations all 'officially' have TRIPLE the amount of recorded catholics, then after that another 5 nations (i never bothered listing) have DOUBLE the number of recorded catholics. Brazil mexico phillipines USA Italy france colombia spain venuzala poland You still haven't provided any numbers but go on to say '...the true, non-official must be even higher.'. Just lmao - what number ??? Ergo, by that rationale so must the 'raw numbers' for all these other nations that are already larger. You should Either provide a source for these numbers you keep alluding too but conveniently never mention or just shut up - cause if you're not willing to show any proof your opinion is less than worthless ...
