Still trying to salvage a modicum of credibility and self respect out of your disastrous postings? Forget it, this desperate attempt to create something out of nothing makes you look even more inept.

lol. You blather about Wikipedia supporting your assertions, and I post directly from Wikipedia facts that explicitly contradict your assertions.

Ah, once again Rome is done in by the written word.

Interesting subject; "credibility". IIRC, and I do, you made a claim of a growing Catholic population in both Switzerland and the Southern European countries mostly responsible for the growing Swiss Catholic population. I replied with a reference to the "dynamic" Catholic growth in Portugal and am still waiting patiently for an answer.

There is still time for you to salvage a modicum of credibility and self respect.

"2. This proves a growing Catholic population in both places."

Check the Catholic birth rates in place "B" and get back to me.

Aren't you the person who claimed I never answered a question?

One thing you can be certain of is I will never respond to an imperious order from you.

You are the one who brags about the dynamic and growing population of Catholics. It is up to you to back up your claims.

However, I did choose the one nation in the world with the greatest percentage of Catholics for a quick analysis of "Catholic Growth".

Although Portugal is one of the countries with the highest proportion of Catholics in the world, the number of faithful has been falling steadily since the mid-1970s. According to the latest census, carried out in 2001, half a million people said they had become agnostics.

While 84.5 percent of the 10.6 million people in this southern European country identify themselves as Catholics, only 18.7 percent are practicing Catholics.

In addition, just 10.3 percent of the population are regular church goers, and only half of all weddings are held in churches, while divorce and abortion are legal and a same-sex marriage bill has been passed by parliament and is set to be signed into law.
