Catholics don't evangelize? They believe that religious faith is a personal matter that shouldn't be shoved down somebody’s throat? Really?

Talk to indigenous peoples like the Maya, etc. They were evangelized quite well.

It had to do more with the mentality of colonization than faith. The colonies were considered part of the colonizing country and were made to conform to mother country's societal standards. Every superpower does that even to this day.

Perhaps he’s talking about present day Western Catholics. In India and Africa there is a lot of evangelization going on, but in America, S. America, Europe, very little.
