A third observation
The tenacity of the Catholic priests who run those missions as their life’s work

Reading this story from a trip in 2007 makes me wonder what could be accomplished if the Vatican ever supported the African priests.

Of course, who could tell the good guys from the not so good?

And I agree - these missions are truly G_ds work, writ large.

Yea, that is incredible........

I remember growing up as a teenager, once every year or two a Catholic priest would stop by the house and visit with my dad. The priest was a classmate of my dad's when he attended a catholic school here in Detroit and his church was somewhere in S. America.......Dad of course would always make a sizable donation to the priest for his church
