Not from South America, which is still very third world in many places. And it is not of western heritage and by that I mean countries that derived from Europe, of European heritage, such as Canada, the U.S., Australia. And of course, from Europe. Catholicism grew up in the West, not in China, not in India, not in Latin America, not in Africa, but in Europe and her offshoots. That’s just the way it is. Any other culture does not have the same history, social mores, ways of thinking about Catholicism. My opinion for you to prove to me otherwise.
