Any Arab Catholics out there?

Question

I thought most Arabs were Muslim, but I hear lots of them are Catholic. Are you one of them?

Answer 1

I'm not exactly sure which countries are classified as Arab, but here are a few:

Lebanon - About 1 million are Catholics: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Catholicism_in_Lebanon

Jordan - Approximately 70,000 are Catholics, representing just over 1% of the total population: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Catholicism_in_Jordan

Syria - Abot 368,000 are Catholics, approximately 2% of the total population: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Catholicism_in_Syria

Sudan - Approximately two million are Catholics - about 5% of the total population: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Catholicism_in_Sudan

Iraq - Over 300,000 are Catholics, just over 1% of the total population: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Catholicism_in_Iraq

With love in Christ.

Answer 2

No, I'm not. And you are right that the majority of Arabs are Muslim. That doesn't mean they all are, however. And'catholic' does mean universal - it's for everyone, regardless of ethnicity.
