Does anybody know which countries the Catholic Church is rapidly rising in. I know Catholicism is rising rapidly in Africa and Asia but does anyone know specific countries?

No this is probably the right place for it. However, the Evangelization forum is sadly underused.
Anyways… I read this very heartening article just yesterday about South Korea: chiesa.espresso.repubblica.it/articolo/1350223?eng=y
They have an evangelization mission which is called “Twenty in Twenty”. Right now the Catholic Church is around 10%-11% of the South Korean population. But, it’s growing so fast that this goal would be to make up 20% of the population by the year 2020.
The other thing that stuck out is that almost every Catholic is very very involved in parish life. Once you are confirmed, South Koreans view it as a duty to be actively engaged in some kind of ministry. Very encouraging news.
That’s the one country that struck me anyways. I read that Catholicism is not growing in nearby Japan. And it is of course doing very well in Africa.
