Demographics of the South African Church
Catholic population
South Africa, has a 6% Catholic Population, in the Archdiocese of Johannessburg, where this raises to ten percent however, one in ten Catholics are the number to have been recorded attending mass over a few sundays in the diocese. The South African church has a need to ensure Catholics not only hold basic societal views, but also live their faith, are informed in it, and consider church and sacraments vital for salvation.
Anti-Catholicism
The previous Calvinistic in belief, Nationalist Party in South Africa saw the church as a threat. It was called the Roomse Gevaar. While the constitution forbids it, Catholics often face accusations, mockery, or misunderstanding from some groups themselves claiming to be Christian.
