The history of the Church in Portugal in the 1970s and early 1980s serves as a case study of how economic and social disruption play a significant part in the international growth of the Church. The decolonization of Portuguese Africa was so great that white Portuguese colonists who left the African colonies of Angola and Mozambique were "susceptible to religious change."|(Deals with African immigrants to Portugal.)
