If you are in to facts and figures the link provided below gives an interesting overview of the state of Catholicism worldwide. Of particular interest is the continued rate of growth for world-wide Catholicism now standing at 1 billion, 214 million!!!
Another stat of great interest to me is the growth of the permanent diaconate worldwide, up 40% in the past decade, despite almost no permanent deacons yet in South America & Africa.
I saw this fascinating report first at Deacon Greg's always interesting Deacon's Bench:
