Its hardly surprising that the election of Latin Americas Pope Francis has focused more attention on Latin American Catholicism since the debates about liberation theology which shook global Christianity in the 1970s and 1980s. The sad irony, however, is that this renewed attention is highlighting something long known to many Catholics but which non-Catholics are now becoming more cognizant: that Latin Americas identity as a Catholic continent is fading and has been doing so for some time. By that I dont mean that most Latin Americans no longer identify as Catholic. Thats still the case. Indeed, in many countries south of the Rio Grande, it remains overwhelming true. But whats clear is that Catholicisms ability to shape Latin Americas religious context is in decline.... ....the survey also states that Evangelicals are generally more committed to a life of prayer, regular worship, and other church-based activities than even church-going Catholics.
May God bring this kind of problem to every country!

May God bring this kind of problem to every country! But they are the ones relegated to being "deficient in grace," mainly the Catholic RP, which they think they obtain spiritual life from, while few truly have been born again, and realized its profound changes in heart and life.

The muslims are generally more committed to a life of prayer and regular worship to their false god, than evangelicals.
What’s your point?
