wideawake: Thanks for bashing your fellow Americans, oh ironically-monikered GWB. I was not bashing in any way. I was merely pointing out that many, if not most, who are counted among the 1 billion claimed by Rome and its supporters are not practicing Romanists. Quite a large percentage have left the church of Rome and joined other churches and still Rome counts them.

sinkspur: Are there even one hundred million who follow your droll Calvinist doctrine? And how many of those are faithful? Got me. Since they are not uniform in their doctrine of Calvinism, it's harder to estimate the actual numbers. But they are nowhere close to the numbers of regular attendees of Mass. That wasn't my point.

You've used this "one billion" thing before as though it proves something. Maybe the pope should hang a sign outside of every RC church that says "Over one billion served". Pretty ridiculous when you think about it. You know it is. And yet you parade this number as though someone, anyone, should be impressed by it.

I think American RC's like to use this fraudulent little statistic to overcome their minority status here in the States.

Actually, I was being quite generous when I allowed for even two hundred million faithful. Why don't you tell me, sinkspur, just what percentage of American RC's are actually obedient to church law and doctrine. Let's just use birth control and abortion statistics alone and leave aside the many other indicators which show how obedient American RC's are to Rome and your pope.

Personally, I doubt that even 1 in 10 American RC's is obedient in even this matter let alone many others. Care to correct me?
