>>The point is that it doesn’t matter.<<

It does to you. You’ve asked for the information five times.
I gave you how the figure was found, and said at the beginning that I can’t argue it but did share it.

If you want to argue it, head on over to www.catholic.com and go to the forums. The writer of that explaination is now writing under JustDave1988. Ask him.

As for the differences in the people in the Catholic churches, that’s being corrected by the Vatican. After VII the liberals ran wild. Now we are getting better teachings and the young people especially are living truly Catholic.

Yes, it does matter to me from the person who posted it because it is pretty obvious that he/she is avoiding it. Why is that?

I am sorry, but I have no desire to argue with you about this. I really don't care what the Vatican is doing to correct what they think are errors in how good little Catholics are supposed to behave. I wanted to show that the number of 20,000 is at best a controversial number. For those that will take that mountain to die on, they will see it as a valid number, no matter what anyone says, least of all me. For others, they will see it as it is.

But the bottom line is that we are all sinners and we are all in need of the grace of God working in our lives and none of us, not one of us has the handle on 100% of the truth, but pride often deceives us into thinking we do. Some groups are closer, some are not. We are each given a measure of faith and it is by faith that we are saved and it is in Christ that we live and have our being. There by the grace of God, go I.
