Anyone can google "number of Roman Catholics worldwide" and see for themselves the disparity in numbers.

a person such as yourself who claims omniscience

Would that be termed a "lie" since I have never claimed "omniscience" and you cannot prove your slander true?

Anyone can google "number of Roman Catholics worldwide" and see for themselves the disparity in numbers.

Learn something.

Let's see then:

The latest estimate from the Vatican is 1.16 billion.

WikiAnswers suggests 1.3 billion (significantly MORE than the 1 billion you claim).

Wikipedia reports the same number as the Catholic Church.

The BBC lists about 1.1 billion, but that was several years before the latest Vatican numbers.

In other words, ALL of these numbers are fairly consistent (though WikiAnswers is higher) and NONE of them suggest that the Catholic Church is overstating the number of members.

So I will ask yet again, can you name a reputable group with verifiable methods that suggests there is a significantly lower number of Catholics?

Would that be termed a "lie" since I have never claimed "omniscience" and you cannot prove your slander true?

It is generally understood that omniscience is required to know for a certainty the truth of what is in another person's heart.
