Sa katunayan ay patunay raw na "kinasisihan" ng Dios ang kanilang relihiyon sapagkat dumarami raw ang kanilang mga kaanib.
Kung ang batayan pala ng pagpapatunay na sa Dios o hindi sa Dios ang isang relihiyon ay ayon sa dami ng kaniyang kaanib, lalong lumalabas na ang Iglesia Katolika pa rin ang TUNAY sapagkat ayon sa istatistika, ang Iglesia Katolika ang siyang may pinakamalaking bilang ng mga kaanib sa LAHAT ng mga relihiyon sa buong mundo.
Ayon sa Adherents.com, Katoliko pa rin ang may pinakamalaking bilang ng kaanib:
The Catholic Church is the world's largest religious body. The lists below indicate places that are "most Catholic" or places with large numbers of Catholics.
Ito naman ang sinasabi ng CIA tungkol sa Iglesia Katolika:
Catholicism (or Roman Catholicism): This is the oldest established western Christian church and the world's largest single religious body. It is supranational, and recognizes a hierarchical structure with the Pope, or Bishop of Rome, as its head, located at the Vatican. Catholics believe the Pope is the divinely ordered head of the Church from a direct spiritual legacy of Jesus' apostle Peter. Catholicism is comprised of 23 particular Churches, or Rites - one Western (Roman or Latin-Rite) and 22 Eastern. The Latin Rite is by far the largest, making up about 98% of Catholic membership. Eastern-Rite Churches, such as the Maronite Church and the Ukrainian Catholic Church, are in communion with Rome although they preserve their own worship traditions and their immediate hierarchy consists of clergy within their own rite. The Catholic Church has a comprehensive theological and moral doctrine specified for believers in its catechism, which makes it unique among most forms of Christianity.
