According to a dispatch of Zenit, the number of Catholics rose sharply from year to year (fifteen million in one year). It is the same number of bishops and priests.
In comparison the number of Muslims is not identified. Indeed the change of religion is strongly suppressed, it makes it impossible to count the actual number of Muslims, many of which are officially and fear.
However, always remember what the Pope said recently: many Catholics are identified as such and are not, however, that many people are identified as acatholiques and are Catholics. This is the secret of God, the mystery of human consciousness. We know the fact, but we can not and should not be judging anyone.
To get a clearer picture of this mystery, one might transpose the response of St. Joan of Arc during one of his trials.
- Are you in a state of grace? [Asked a judge thereof (to the horror of others who do not want the question to be asked), this question is obviously a horrible wickedness, rape of consciousness in which God alone enters.]
She responds,
- If I did that God put me there, if I'm God guard me.
God willed that this indiscreet question, provide an opportunity for our holy to give a short course of theology to the theologians and comfort to all believers.
could therefore translate into
- Are you Catholic?
- Yes, I am a Catholic by the grace of God, but if I am not God and convert me if I am as God keeps me and increase my faith.
This puts the value of these statistics.
