Claim 3: “where around 40% of the population is Catholic.”
SINGLE SOURCE
One web search result mentions that 'baptized Catholics account for approximately 41' (implying 41%) in Angola, suggesting a specific figure. Other sources discuss the Catholic Church's presence but do not provide a current, corroborating percentage. Therefore, the specific '40%' claim cannot be corroborated.
