Towards Catholicism in Numbers by Tim Kinnear

This webpage presents resources that take steps towards developing Catholicism in Numbers. The Catholic Record Society seeks to develop this project in collaboration with researchers and others who wish to share high level numerical data that illuminate the lives of Catholics in England and Wales, Scotland and, where possible Ireland. The CRS thanks Tim Kinnear for his work on this project and Dr Alana Harris for initiating and guiding it. We invite potential contributors who have their own datasets or information they wish to share to contact the CRS via

(Please note: Ireland is not included in all the figures on the site.)

Fr Brian D’Arcy, myself and that Late, Late moment

In his Western People column Brendan Hoban reminisces about his ‘Late Late’ moment on the famous programme that saw Brian D’Arcy challenge Cardinal Cathal Daly.
“D’Arcy, of course, was right in what he said on that 1995 Late Late Show. I salute his courage in saying it, when so many said nothing, even though they knew he was right and knew too that it needed to be said. And we all know now that what has happened in the last 25 years validates what D’Arcy said on that night.”
