Catholicism was introduced to Angola by the Portuguese explorers since 1491 when the first missionaries arrived.[1]
Many of the missionaries saw themselves as Portuguese, rather than integrating into Angolan society. Non-Portuguese missionaries were required to renounce the laws of their own country and submit to Portuguese law, as well as prove their ability to speak and write the Portuguese language.[2] [2]
Demographics [ edit ]
The last census in 2014 noted that 56.4% of the Angolan population identified as Roman Catholic .[3]
As of 2020, approximately 53.85%[4] [5] Angola 's history as a former Portuguese colony.
