"Also you can give them your new total for the Catholic population in the US. Do we get to include all of the bitter ex-Catholics who currently describe themselves as Evangelicals, OPC'ers, Mormons, Buddhists, etc. or just those too lazy or intellectually dishonest to recalibrate their self-identifications?

Just count the Catholic’s who are baptized members of the Catholic denomination who consider themselves Catholics.

Nope - just the 70+ million that the bishops report as (still) being Catholic. Or are you accusing the bishops of being intellectually dishonest and lazy?
