One billion members and growing. You're going to need a mighty big fork.
Quality, not quantity, is what is needed in our priests and laypeople. Numbers alone are not sufficient to determine the health of the Church, especially since the key is to differentiate PRACTICING/FAITHFUL Catholics from GENERIC/NOMINAL Catholics. That 1 Billion number quickly drops when making this distinction. Sad, but true.
Clean out the liberal trash, have a purified smaller Church, and then watch it grow to 1 Billion FAITHFUL members. That will be something to celebrate.
