Catholic Church: harvest in Africa and Asia - Famine in Europe and US 31 May 2014 The latest data released by Vatican on Catholic Church has reasserted the trend of huge growth in Africa and Asia and severe decline in Europe. Every year around May, the Catholic Church publishes its annual yearbook ‘annuario pontificio’.Very few people are aware that every year a systematic census as well as data collection is done by the Catholic Church about baptized people, Churches, Bishops and other Church workers. This year’s published data shows that Catholic Christians are growing at a slow but steady pace. In the period between 2003 and 2012, the number of baptized Catholics around the world rose from 1086 to 1229 million. newsbharati//Encyc/2014/5/31/121822.aspx
