		<description>Father J,&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I firmly agree.  I am certain you noticed, but lest there be any confusion, the majority of the post was an attributed quote.  The original article was of a decidedly secular bent.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Perhaps by Providence, Chinese Christianity is expected to possibly grow to 20-30% of the general population in the next 20-30 years. Christianity in India is growing (slowly) as well (2.32% of the population by last Indian survey.)&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Bare in mind, even modest single-digit growth rates in nations of 1B+ is appreciable.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;As I have &lt;a HREF="http://blog.ancient-future.net/2007/10/foreign-born-priests-humanae-vitae-our.html" REL="nofollow"&gt;written before&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;, The Catholic Church in the future is going to continue to increase in the number of souls wearing bodies in shades of black and brown... But it seems to make sense, lest we forget, Catholic does mean universal. &lt;br/&gt;Maybe when these folks come over to America to set up missions, they will have success in teaching the post-Christian moderns they find about the joy of larger families, and beauty of seeing a child become a priest or relgious.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;If I had the means to do so, I would set up a trust for the support of translating Catholic literature into Chinese, Hindi and Arabic.  That's 3B some people right there.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Pray that day comes sooner than later.</description>

		<description>Simple Sinner, thanks for a helpful post.  There is an awful lot of thinking about the effects of a growing Islam on geopolitics that has not been done by Christians and Westerners in general.  This is a crucial factor for understanding our collective future.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I am not as certain that Islam is as divided as it is portrayed in the post, though.  The Islam seeking a "modus vivendi" with the West exemplified by Turkey has to be a distinct and non representative minority.  The Islam enraged by the US support of Israel and frustrated by a crushing poverty at odds with its presumption of superiority has to take in the great majorities of Muslims from Algeria to Egypt to Syria to Pakistan to Bangladesh to the Philippines and Indonesia.  Their demographic growth can only become a growing political pressure over a democratized globe.</description>
