Is there a footnote suporting this claim ...? "True, the number of Protestant converts to Catholicism is less than the other way around."

(1) O'Neill, Dan, editor, "Introduction," The New Catholics: Contemporary Converts Tell Their Stories, (New York: The Crossroad Publishing Company, 1989), p. xi.

The author's claim is sourced to this other author's claim. Whether there is any legitimate data behind the factoid is anybody's guess.

Sloppy journalism. Tendentious. And smarmy.

I suppose the author may be referring to some Barna report or something. I think for Protestants and Catholics to try to figure that out is difficult at best. Everybody keeps numbers in all sorts of various ways.
