Catholicism in China
- There are more Catholics in China than members of the Communist Party (about 100 million Catholics to 87.6 million party members)
- Analysts say that by 2030 there may be more Catholics in China than any other country in the world
- Christianity in China goes back to the 7th Century - but many have been forced to practise in underground, illegal churches
- There are many restrictions for the official Church, such as the requirement to register all church buildings with the government, and being unable to recognise the authority of the Vatican.
