Lentorama 2012: Know Your Diocese
Day 9: Archdiocese of Algiers
Founded as a diocese in 1838 and elevated to an archdiocese in 1866, it does claim a history dating back to the second century AD even though the French were the ones to get the hierarchy going.
There is a page on their website that talks about living as Catholics in a country where Islam is dominant, and not surprisingly it takes a fairly low-key tone, stressing brotherhood and acceptance. Probably a good idea given the numbers.
