Early Catholic missions in Africa expanded actively beginning with Henry the Navigator in the 15th century.
But why did this great effort eventually collapse, leaving so little lasting influence in history?
There were some successes, including the conversion of the King of Kongo and the establishment of a base in Mozambique.
But the obstacles were devastating.
Missionaries died one after another from tropical diseases and a lack of medicine.
In Madagascar, entire mission teams were killed one after another, bringing missionary efforts back to square one.
The greater problem was the slave trade.
Exploitation by conquerors and large-scale slave trading caused Christianity to be seen by many local people as a brutal and barbaric religion.
Poor strategies that ignored local languages and cultures made matters worse, preventing indigenous churches from taking root.
It was a tragic outcome shaped by the brutality of conquerors and zeal without preparation.
The painful history of Africa reminds us that faith without a genuine effort to understand and serve local people is like a house built on sand.
