Best Answer

Latin America (Central and South America) has a very high percentage of Catholics. Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, Poland and the Philippines do also. The Roman Catholic Church is found everywhere in the world, hence one of the marks of the true church is catholicity, or as St. Vincent of Lerins wrote "hold fast that faith which has been believed everywhere, always, and by all." Catholics are united in doctrine, hierarchy and belief in every country of the world. In some countries where regimes rule that persecute the Church for religious or political reasons, the Church does not visibly exist although in almost every case there is an underground where faithful souls continue to practice their faith.
