Name that tune. I doubt you can name even one credible source to corroborate your confabulations. However, here is another nugget for you to choke on:
ROME (RNS/ENI) The world’s Catholic population grew 11.55 percent between 2000 and 2008, from 1.045 billion 1.166 billion, which was slightly faster than the world’s overall population growth of 10.77 percent, according to new statistics published by the Vatican.
The 2010 edition of the Vatican’s statistical yearbook shows that while the number of Catholics in Europe grew by 1.17 percent, in Africa growth was 33.02 percent, 15.6 percent in Asia and 10.9 percent in the Americas.
lol. I've given you a "credible source" and you dismissed it. So what else is new? I could cite a dozen sources and they'd all be ignored.
And let's not forget Rome, like the democrats, counts dead people and all those, such as my husband, who were baptized RC but who later left Roman Catholicism.
...according to new statistics published by the Vatican.
But you said you were looking for "credible sources."
