=== Source Integration ===


* Lead: Summarize [Country]’s size, population, economy, and culture, then emphasize its Catholic population (e.g., X million, Y%), historical roots, and notable features (e.g., <nowiki>[[Saint Name]]</nowiki> or <nowiki>[[Shrine Name]]</nowiki>).
* Use CIA World Factbook for lead, Geography, and Demographics: <nowiki><ref>{{Cite web |title=[Country] |url=https://www.cia.gov/the-world-factbook/countries/[country]/ |publisher=CIA World Factbook |date=2024-12-01 |access-date=2025-05-18}}</ref></nowiki>.
* Geography: Briefly describe [Country]’s location, area, climate, and major cities, using CIA World Factbook data, to set the stage for Catholic presence.

* History: Cover [Country]’s general history (e.g., indigenous era, colonization, independence), with a focus on Catholicism’s introduction (e.g., by <nowiki>[[Jesuit]]</nowiki> missionaries) and milestones (e.g., dioceses, papal visits).
* Include at least one inline citation per paragraph, with multiple for specific claims (e.g., Catholic population, saints’ canonizations). Follow [[Wikipedia:Citing sources|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_sources]].
* Demographics: Detail total population, Catholic percentage, and trends (e.g., growth, secularization), including ethnic or age breakdowns.
* Cite all facts (e.g., “5,000 Catholics” or “2.38 million km²”). Note estimates as “approximately” or “as of [Year].”
* Catholic Church: Describe the Church’s structure (dioceses, parishes, <nowiki>[[National Episcopal Conference Name]]</nowiki>), leaders (e.g., <nowiki>[[Cardinal Name]]</nowiki>), and institutions (schools, hospitals).  The “Structure” subsection must include a breakdown of ecclesiastical provinces, their regional distribution, and a bulleted list of all dioceses, specifying archdioceses and suffragan dioceses, with locations and links.
** The "Catholic Church" section must include a subsection titled "Structure" that outlines the Church’s organization in Cameroon, including the number of ecclesiastical provinces, their regional distribution (e.g., aligning with Cameroon’s geographic or administrative regions), and a complete list of dioceses grouped by province. Refer to the Wikipedia example (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catholic_Church_in_Cameroon#Structure) to ensure the format includes a clear hierarchy (e.g., archdioceses and suffragan dioceses) and geographic context.
** The structure must reflects Cameroon’s geographic or administrative regions (e.g., Centre, Northwest, Littoral) to contextualize the dioceses’ locations, as seen in the Wikipedia example where dioceses are tied to regions like "South Region" or "Northwest Region."
** Mandate a comprehensive list of all current dioceses, organized by ecclesiastical province, with each diocese linked to its respective Saintapedia or Wikipedia page (if available) and noting its location (e.g., city or region).
** Include specific sources like GCatholic.org and Catholic-Hierarchy.org for accurate diocesan data, as these are used in the Wikipedia example and provide up-to-date ecclesiastical province and diocese information.
