Are you that much of a slave to statistics? If so, why do you argue against the compelling evidence that Catholicism is in decline in developed countries, and the very real significance that has for your cult? It seems most of your refutations begin with a claim to not having heard the point made or not being aware of such a thing after all. If a study is flawed, it is flawed. Perhaps your indoctrination has removed your ability to be skeptical, Aiza.
