Percentage of catholics

It should be discussed in the article that at the time the Portuguese left the country or annexation by Indonesia, the relative number of Catholics was just 27 %. It was due to Indonesia's anxiety to communism that the population was more or less forced to adopt a religion, just as in Indonesia proper. This led to the enormous increase of the number of Catholics. Meursault2004 23:26, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting assertion. Sounds more like a conspiracy theory to me, not the POV an Encyclopaedia is generally interested in, unless you can phrase it in a neutral way, i.e. heading:conspiracy theory, text: ... even so. I think it's irrelevant. Tjpob (talk) 02:00, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Integrating several articles in this one

There is no reason for having Freedom of religion in East Timor, Islam in East Timor, and Roman Catholicism in East Timor as different articles. I'm merging those 3 into this one. The Ogre (talk) 17:41, 17 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Bahá'í Center in Timor Leste

I will be going to Timor Leste next year and was wondering if there is any information available on the Bahá'í center over there. There is no mention of the center in the article, which was disappointing. If no information is available, when I go over, I could do a bit of research there.

External links modified

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on Roman Catholicism in East Timor. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

Added archive https://web.archive.org/20070306173509/http://www.cathnews.com:80/news/703/13.php to http://www.cathnews.com/news/703/13.php

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.

Beginning of Christianization

The Article states "Prior to the Indonesian invasion in 1975, the Austronesian people of Timor were animist polytheists" it makes little sense that the predominatly Muslim Indonesians would convert the population to Christianity, it was prior to Portuguese colonization that the population was Animist.
