[Conservative til I die]

Salvation is not about numbers.

Who said it is? But let's be honest, if this article instead said "Catholic Church in disastrous decline, Protestantism grows by leaps and bounds" you'd be here shouting "Alleluiah, Jesus's message is spreading."

"Who said it is?"

It is an apologetic devise which I find Catholics quick to use.

Many love to bandy about the 1 or 1.2 billion number with the implicating that such a figure is a sign of God's blessing. Does that mean the Muslims have God's blessing due to the 1.6 billion?



"you'd be here shouting "Alleluiah, Jesus's message is spreading."

Actually the fastest growing Christian denomination (including the RCC) worldwide is Pentecostalism.
