Catholic Culture:
Let’s be honest: statistics can be dull. But sometimes a number leaps off the page (or the screen). That happened to me this morning, with our CWN headline story about the growth of the world’s Catholic population.
During that time period, the Catholic population soared by 41% in Africa and 20% in Asia, approximately double the rate of population growth on each continent (23.8% in Africa, 9.6% in Asia).
That rate of growth in Asia is impressive. But in Africa: 40%? That’s not growth; that’s explosion! More here.
