Fiction. For every story like this I can show you a hundred true testimonies of those who swam the Tiber and came home

Many are called, but few are chosen

MM, they do not understand this is not about "numbers" ..Truth is not determined by vote or plurally . Truth is truth even if only One person holds it ...

Jesus Christ is the way the truth and the life.. not the Catholic church

Numbers DO seem to count to them. just as they did with Israel. Which is why Jesus referred to his followers as "the little flock"..

One BILLION cannot possibly be wrong. There are just too many to be fooled. I guess it's the Big Flock mentality.

True, but if anyone wants to play the nmbers game, far more Catholics become Protestants than Protestants become Catholics.
About 10% of the population of the U.S. actually consist of former Catholics according to a Pew study.

As a percentage of the population, the Catholic Church has not grown in many years (about 25%). The only reason they have grown in absolute numbers is immigration both legal and illegal.
The scary thing is the number of people who claim no religious affiliation whatsover has skyrocketed. This represents a failure of Christian Evangelism in both the Catholic and Protestant Churches.
