Catholic Life in Sweden

During medieval ages, Catholic faith was fully embraced by the people in what became Sweden. This was expressed in art and architecture. However, alla was changed in the midst of the 16th century, when the Lutheran reformation was imposed by the state. Convents and monastries were torn down, Holy Mass forbidden. Now Catholics live in a small diasphora. But it is vital and slowkly growing, mostly because of the immigration from other countries. Despite threats from the politicians, our Catholic schools still exist. Catholic life is an integrated part of our modern society that cannot be ignored.
