What is the number of Traditional Catholics according to statistics?

How many people are in groups like the SSPX SSPV CMRI and any other groups I have not heard of?

It would be interesting to know how many people hold to the Catholic faith.

I'd like to know this too.

I don't know the answer to your question, but I'll answer it with a relative answer:

At least 25X the number of people you see online.

All the personalities you see on Facebook, CI, FE, all the other misc. fora, etc. are literally the TIP OF THE ICEBERG when it comes to the # of Trad Catholics.

And if you think the rest of the iceberg is less fervent, I have some more news for you.

Some of the most fervent Trads don't mess around with online fora. Maybe they don't like to argue, maybe they are too busy (quite common), etc.

Now I think there are benefits to a place like CI as well -- learning about the Faith, companionship with fellow Catholics (which not everyone outside Saint Marys gets to enjoy!), etc.

Nevertheless, I know plenty of Catholics personally who never go online. Male and female.

So all you single guys -- if you think there are no single female trads -- think again. You just have to go out searching IRL.

I think trads are less than .1 percent of all people claiming to be Catholic. There are not many of us.

OK, Matthew.

I'm not single but I have just got to know what you mean by "IRL".

The only thing it means around here (Indiana) is "Indy Racing League". But surely you're not suggesting that single guys find trad women at the auto races! I know you have something else in mind. Please illuminate.
