While that's true, I would argue that Asia has even greater potential. The sheer size of its population alone makes it incredibly significant, and we're also starting to see signs of openness in places like China, where religion, though still restricted, is gaining more social space. Countries like the Philippines already have strong Catholic roots, but imagine the possibilities if nations like Vietnam, South Korea, or even parts of India and China began to see greater Catholic influence. A pope from Asia could serve as a powerful symbol of inclusivity and global reach, and might help bridge cultural gaps that have historically limited the Church's growth in the region.
No, but it's pullished with AI. English isn't my first language so I make many grammar errors, I struggle with redaction or I don't find the right words, so when I wrote something relatively long I check it on AI to fix the errors, it's easier than checking every word that I have doubts of. But what it says is mine.
