The Roman Catholic Church is the world's largest Christian Church, and its largest religious grouping. There are an estimated 4.25 million baptised Catholics in the Republic of Cameroon, 26% of the population, in 23 Dioceses. There are 1,350 priests and 2,600 men and women in religious orders.
The Vatican II Council (1959-1965) revolutionized the CatholicChurch, and in theory, was to dramatically alter the operation of Catholic missions throughout the world.
They said that all the “rich” CatholicChurch had to do at first was present their ominous cathedrals, beautiful artwork and statues to attract people.
Perhaps the Church was able to spread so well due to its financial power, but that does not mean that it does not use indigenous culture as well or that this wealth is not used with proper intentions.
