At this point? Catholics have been in contact with other religions for 2000 years; and because of that the Church has converted nations and even a continent. Yet now, thanks to VC II, "Catholics are just now learning how to do this". And that continent, South America, which was once solidly Catholic, has become a frenzied feeding ground for the evangelicals that the Pope has just hosted and high-fived.
You’re correct on the fact that Catholics have been doing this for a long time.
But in the U. S. I think we are just learning.
You are also correct about the frenzy to usurp Catholicism. We need to learn how to defend ourselves when other proselytizers approach us..
