If China has one sixth of the world's people and the same number are Catholics than how many are both?

Question

Both = Chinese Catholics

Answer 1

Be careful. There is little or no freedom of religion in China.

It is estimated that there are 13 million Catholics in China

The Catholic Churches in China are under the authority of the Chinese government, not the Pope.

The Chinese Patriotic Catholic Association is a division of the People's Republic of China's Religious Affairs Bureau to exercise state supervision over mainland China's Catholics. The Communist Party of China wants no organization in mainland China owing allegiance to "foreign influence", in this case, every other Catholic on the planet including the Pope.

Ever since it's creation in the 1950's, the Catholic Church has deplored the attitude and activities of the Association and declared the bishops who participated in consecrating new bishops selected by the Association to be excommunicated.

It is estimated that there are 13 million Catholics in China, 8 million following the underground church still loyal to Rome and 5 million following the officially sanctioned Chinese Catholic Patriotic Association.

With love in Christ.

Answer 2

It can range from 0 to one sixth. The conditions are mutually exclusive(do not have to be paired). Obviously, since there are a lot of Irish, and other ethnic, Catholics who are not Chinese, the answer would be closer to 0.

Answer 3

China has 1/6 the worlds people... that would be 1,000,000,000 people. 166,666,667 catholics.
