Despite the negative publicity from the sexual abuse by priests which has justifiably outraged all, there is some good news I can share about my church: The Catholic Church in Africa has grown by 30 million in the last 7 years.

In the Americas and in Oceania their numbers grew by 8.4 percent and 7.6 percent respectively, while in Asia the number of faithful remained more or less stable.In Europe,growth was less than one percent.

Also, in my link, there is info on the growth of bishops and priests.

they’re at their most fierce. 
And they go down fighting.

There is such a surge of not only Catholicism but in the priesthood in India that many of the ordained Indian priests have migrated to the USA to fill vacant positions.

You don’t have to be a moron to be a liberal Democrat but it sure helps.
