Ecclesiastical Statistics

Ecclesiastical Statistics is the practice that many churches have of trying to actively count their congregants. The French Annuaire pontifical catholique used to provide global statistics on the Roman Catholic Church.[1] Today such global statistics (arranged by country and continent) are given in the Statistical Yearbook of the Church and (arranged by diocese) in Annuario Pontificio.
