Prior to Vatican II, in the U.S., there were 150,000 conversions per year. Now, there are 60,000.

Actually, Jones says 80,000. But then, USA TODAY says this, in 2003:

"I am finally becoming who I was meant to be," Matthew Stiles says. The Boston College freshman leaves behind his Methodist boyhood to join 160,000 men and women in becoming Roman Catholic this Easter season.

Source. I also saw the 150,000 figure for converts to the Church this year.

And Jones says that the Church has grown, in the US, from 45 million to 65 million in the last 37 years.

Jones' conversion figures differ significantly from other sources.

Of course the numbers of the Church, in total, have grown, because Catholic parents keep baptizing their children.

We are talking specifically about converts here.
