Catholic Population Officially Leaps To 650,000

ATLANTA—The Catholic Church in North Georgia is now the 26th largest diocese in the country, falling between El Paso, Texas, and Providence, R.I.

The Atlanta Archdiocese recently updated its official Catholic population figure, nearly doubling in size to 650,000 from 350,000.

“In many, many parishes, the unregistered (parishioners) equaled registered,” said Faletti, a consultant from the North Highland Co. who is working with the archdiocese as part of the planning process.

A researcher said the church may actually be undercounting the number of Catholics.

To what do you attribute the increase? and, what is the purpose of the survey? Can you give me numbers for Cinicinnati, Ohio?
