Your numbers just don't add up. The total number on non Catholic Christians who have ever lived is approximately one billion. Conservative estimates of the total number of Catholics (all catholic sects that accept Apostolic Succession) is at least four times that number. Were I to use the YEC litmus test of only counting as Christians those who believe as I do, the number would be 100%.
"Catholics who died unaware of the Theory of Evolution (which includes every one of them who died before the mid-19th Century) don't count, so he's technically not calling them idiots, only the billions who have lived since then."
I am including those who accept the divine guidance of the Church. The Church did not discover anything new in Scripture to support the compatibility of the bible and science, the affirmed it and evolution helps explain it.
Where do you get your numbers?

One billion to 4 billion? That's a 1:4 ratio.
What kind of math are you doing that determines that that is 99%?
As per:

There are currently one billion non-Catholic Christians alive today. Add in all the non-Catholic Christians who have died, and you would have a figure of multiple billions. For the sake of argument, let's call it 5 billion. That would mean that for your 99% figure to be correct there would have to have been about 500 billion Catholics. This is rather problematic, given that there have only been (roughly) 100 billion people in all of human history (this figure assumes a starting point 50,000 years ago).
