I go by my own experiences just so you know.
The Experience I saw on this Easter season made me look in surprise. There were 100 to 150 new converts in the front roped off area. Then they were introduced then the full bible reading mass continued.
Now that was just one service for the day. There are many in a Sunday.
In all of my years of being Catholic going to mass never have I seen so many at an individual church.
Now I have talked to other Catholics. The numbers are up at a large amount of churches.
Just so you know with that "data dump" you like to do.
I will go by my experiences before sitting down and reading second or third hand sources. Of course it's in my humble opinion. But truly amazing in my eyes.
Praise Jesus Christ to you! Freeper Cheers!
See last post. I go by formal surveys, which in time would confirm your anecdotal story, which of course, may have been a years reaping, while an evangelical church elsewhere could have the same or more of former RCs.
Up here where there are many more evang. churches than in my youth, that they would not have grown as they did except by RC converts, while she has closed many churches.
