Glad to see my data from the World Christian Database cited in this @nytimes.com article! The Catholic Church is the most global it has ever been. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Pope Francis Made the Church More Global. What Does That Mean for the Conclave?

Francis appointed most of the cardinals. But they may not choose another pope like him.

The statistical center of gravity of Catholicism from the first century to 2050 (projected); there's an equal number of Catholics to the North, South, East, and West of each point. By 2050, the center of gravity for Catholicism will likely be Timbuktu, Mali. www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/v...

So my phone started blowing up last night because guess who's on the banned book list at the naval academy? Yours truly. Go support an author today and buy a book off of this this list... Doesn't even have to be mine. Gift link coming

I looked through the entire list of 400 books. So many excellent works on race and gender history. This is silencing of academics and historical erasure.

About 80% of those at risk of deportation from the US are Christians (10 million) – 61% Catholic & 13% Evangelical. With no change in US law, one out of every 12 Christians are vulnerable to deportation or could lose at least one family member to deportation. Full report here: tinyurl.com/muu4bkwt

Glad to see the Episcopal Church have this moment. I know the data, trends, and theory as to why, but it always astounds me that Americans generally agree with the positions of progressive churches, yet they’re in severe decline.

The number of infected people, measured over 70-some years and across all 50 states and the District of Columbia, generally declined after vaccines were introduced.

The Christian world will be different in 25 years. The shift to the Global South (Africa, Latin America, Asia) has shifted the core of leadership. Both Catholicism and Protestant denominations will need to move from European/North American dominance to a parity model listening to this shift.
