Who is the Eldest Daughter of the Church?

peasypod

Do you mean France? France won the title eldest "Daughter of the Church" in 498 A.D., when Saint Rèmi baptized King Clovis. Despite 1500 years of Catholic history, heroic saints and glorious apparitions, today France fights for her soul. More than eighty percent of Frenchmen identified themselves as Catholic in 1980. Yet during Pope John Paul II's 1996 visit to the "eldest daughter", only sixty-three percent said they were Catholic. (France has 40 million baptized Catholics of a total population of 59 million.) http://www.wf-f.org/03-1-France.html [Edited to add reference - McG] Aug 11 04, 8:26 PM
