Many Catholics today don't know that at the time of the Protestant Reformation & early European expansion in the Americas, Catholic Christendom wasn't just European but extended into Central Africa.

I have created a companion account to @RealRCWomen, called (of course) @RealRCMen. I will see how it takes off in the coming days, & I will likely post once every other day on both accounts now. And, I will not cross-post too much between the two accounts to keep things streamlined! In any case, please follow and share if this interests you! And thanks if you do!
