Not the Catholics

Although the Catholic Church in Africa is large, it is not this denomination that is causing the christian boom there. The boom there comes from evanjelical and pentecostal movements that preach old fashioned christianity with signs and wonders and are not tied down and slowed down by too much structure like the catholics.
