From 2000 to 2008 the population of Catholics on Earth grew from 1.045 billion to 1.166 billion, an 11.58% increase, which was faster than the growth rate of overall human population. To read the entire article, please visit:

I think you mean to say, the number of children born to parents who are registered catholic grew faster than the world population.
ReplyDeleteSomething else I would like to point out is; a baby cannot be catholic. A baby can be born to a catholic family and christened, but until a person understands all the church stands for and what they are accepting my calling themselves catholic, they aren't truly catholic.
It's like calling a new born baby a republican.
Also, where are you getting your data for the growth of the human population? The article you listed mentions nothing about data on world population growth.
