Roman Catholicism in Vietnam : ウィキペディア英語版 | Roman Catholicism in Vietnam The Roman Catholic Church in Vietnam is part of the worldwide Catholic Church, under the spiritual leadership of the Pope in Rome and the Catholic Bishops Conference of Vietnam. Vietnam has the fifth largest Catholic population in Asia, after the Philippines, India, China and Indonesia. According to ''Catholic Hierarchy Catalog'', there are 5,658,000 Catholics in Vietnam, representing 6.87% of the total population.〔(Catholic Hierarchy website )〕 There are 26 dioceses (including three archdioceses) with 2228 parishes and 2668 priests.〔 ==History==
The first Catholic missionaries visited Vietnam from Portugal at the beginning of the 16th century. The earliest missions did not bring very impressive results. Only after the arrival of Jesuits in the first decades of the 17th century did Christianity begin to establish its positions within the local population. Between 1627-30, Alexander de Rhodes and Antoine Marquez, priests from the region of Provence in France,〔(Catholic Encyclopedia, Indochina )〕 converted more than 6,000 people. In the 17th century, de Rhodes created an alphabet for the Vietnamese language, using the Latin script with added diacritic marks, based on the work of earlier Portuguese missionaries. This system continues to be used today, and is called Quốc Ngữ (literally "national language").
