Miembros de la Sociedad de Misiones Extranjeras de Par\u00eds tambi\u00e9n llegaron en esos a\u00f1os y fundaron iglesias y escuelas.<\/p>\n<p>El misionero franc\u00e9s Jean-Marie Beurel fue responsable de la construcci\u00f3n de la Catedral del Buen Pastor, una escuela de ni\u00f1os dirigida por los Hermanos de las Escuelas Cristianas y una escuela de ni\u00f1as dirigida por las Hermanas del Ni\u00f1o Jes\u00fas.<\/p>\n<p>Desde el principio, los cat\u00f3licos de la entonces Di\u00f3cesis de Malaca estaban divididos en dos jurisdicciones debido a un antiguo conflicto entre la Santa Sede y Portugal que no se resolvi\u00f3 hasta 1886 con la firma de un nuevo concordato.<\/p>\n<p>Los cat\u00f3licos de la misi\u00f3n portuguesa fueron puestos bajo la autoridad del obispo de Macao (entonces una colonia portuguesa), y los de la misi\u00f3n francesa bajo la del vicario apost\u00f3lico de Ava y Pegu (entonces Birmania).<\/p>\n<p>Desde 1888, la Misi\u00f3n Portuguesa y los misioneros de la Sociedad de Misiones Extranjeras de Par\u00eds trabajaron juntos para consolidar la presencia de la Iglesia en Singapur.<\/p>\n<p>La Iglesia sufri\u00f3 una severa persecuci\u00f3n durante la ocupaci\u00f3n japonesa entre 1942 y 1945. La comunidad cat\u00f3lica revivi\u00f3 en la posguerra de los a\u00f1os 50 y la Iglesia intensific\u00f3 su labor en los campos educativo, sanitario y social.<\/p>\n<h2>Cardenal William Goh<\/h2>\n<p>En 1972, Singapur fue elevada a archidi\u00f3cesis sujeta a la Santa Sede y en 1977, Gregory Yong se convirti\u00f3 en su primer arzobispo. Singapur cuenta actualmente con un cardenal, William Goh, creado por el Papa Francisco durante el consistorio de 2022.<\/p>\n<p>Tras el establecimiento de relaciones diplom\u00e1ticas con la Santa Sede en 1981, Singapur recibi\u00f3 la visita del Papa Juan Pablo II el 20 de noviembre de 1986, como parte de su 32\u00ba viaje apost\u00f3lico a Bangladesh, Singapur, Fiyi y Nueva Zelanda.<\/p>\n<p>Hoy en d\u00eda, Singapur se considera un estado secular y pluralista y una ciudad multi\u00e9tnica. Aproximadamente el 43% de sus m\u00e1s de 5 millones de habitantes son budistas. Alrededor del 20% son cristianos, el 14% son musulmanes y tambi\u00e9n hay un peque\u00f1o porcentaje de hind\u00faes.<\/p>\n<p>La Iglesia Cat\u00f3lica cuenta actualmente con 176.000 fieles en el pa\u00eds y es considerada una de las m\u00e1s din\u00e1micas y vitales del sudeste asi\u00e1tico.<\/p>\n<p>Alrededor del 50% de los cat\u00f3licos asisten regularmente a la misa dominical, y las iglesias permanecen llenas gracias a los emigrantes, que son un componente importante de la Iglesia local.<\/p>\n<h2>Actual crecimiento acelerado&nbsp;<\/h2>\n<p>Bas\u00e1ndose en los datos m\u00e1s recientes de la Oficina de Estad\u00edstica de Singapur, la Santa Sede inform\u00f3 que el cristianismo, y el catolicismo en particular, es la \u00fanica religi\u00f3n que est\u00e1 creciendo.<\/p>\n<p>Esta vitalidad se confirma tanto por la presencia activa de la Iglesia en el \u00e1mbito social como por la gran y participativa asistencia a las liturgias.<\/p>\n<p>En general, las pol\u00edticas de las autoridades de Singapur est\u00e1n orientadas a promover el di\u00e1logo y la cooperaci\u00f3n con las religiones, especialmente en las \u00e1reas educativa y social.<\/p>\n<p>Esta coexistencia entre diferentes religiones tambi\u00e9n se ve favorecida por la frecuencia de matrimonios mixtos en la ciudad-estado.<\/p>\n<p><em>Esta historia <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aciprensa.com\/noticias\/106629\/el-catolicismo-es-religion-que-mas-crece-en-singapur\" target=\"null\" class=\"null\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"><em>fue publicada originalmente<\/em><\/a><em> por ACI Prensa, socio de noticias en espa\u00f1ol de CNA.
