How many Catholics are in the United Kingdom?

Answer 1

According to the British Social Attitudes Survey of 2006, 9% of Britain is Catholic. Numerically, this would be around six million people (6,000,000) out of the total population of the United Kingdom. I would assume most are Irish-descended folks.

Answer 2

Only 3% of the population of Wales is Catholic. That works out to around 89,420 people.

Answer 3

1

Clearly '1' is wrong. I don't have a figure, but it must be several million.

Answer 4

According to the 2006 census, there are 3,409,381 Catholics in Ireland.
