Why does the Roman Catholic Church have the most people in it?

Answer 1

So many people are catholic because that's what their parents were, and their parents parents, and so on. After a while people stop questioning traditions and faiths and follow it blindly.

Jesus said his Church would be "the light of the world." He then noted that "a city set on a hill cannot be hid" (Matt. 5:14). The Catholic Church is the most visable, so it must be the one. It is One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic

Answer 2

Roman Catholic AnswerBecause the Catholic relgion is the only one that was founded by Our Blessed Lord, the only one that He guaranteed until the end of the world, the only one that guarantees salvation, the only one that Our Blessed Lord sent the Holy Spirit to guide, and the one outside of which there is no salvation.

Answer 3

It has the most people above all the other denominations because:

• Belonging to some other Christian denomination requires that you, or one of your ancestors, made a deliberate decision about religion at some point within the last 400 years... Roman Catholicism has inertia on its side
• Essentially all of the colonial powers with the exception of Britain were Roman Catholic and this carried over into their colonies in the New World
• Roman Catholicism is against contraception, which tends to lead to large families

Finally, while the Roman Catholics are the largest single denomination of Christianity, I think they're no longer in the majority of Christians (counting all denominations which claim to be "Christian").

Roman Catholic AnswerThe Catholic Church is the only Church that was founded by Jesus Christ who said, on more than one occasion that It would remain One until the end of the world, and that He would send the Holy Spirit to guide it. It is the only way in which Jesus Christ arranged for us to be saved. All other "Christian" ecclesial communities were founded fifteen centuries after Christ's death and resurrection and were founded by men who decided that they wanted to worship God in their own way, not in the way that Jesus established.

Answer 4

The old adage: "The Truth Shall Set You Free." is the only reason why Catholicism is the most prominent among the Christian Faiths.

AnswerActually, I think that Catholicism, being the only religion other than Judaism which was founded by God, Himself, is not the most common religion. Catholicism as listed in Wikipedia in 2012 has about 1.2 billions members, whereas Islam has approximately 1.6 billion members. Then Hinduism has around 1 billion followed by Protestants with around 800 million (that includes ALL non-Catholics, some of whom would not consider themselves "protestant") and Buddhism with around 7 million.
