Like Comparing Apples and Vegetables

I have to say I expect more from National Geographic. Comparing all of Islam with Catholicism, the generalizations made in the quote from the Vatican’s Monsignor Vittorio Formenti. The article comes from the Vatican newspaper via Associated Press, but I have to wonder who decided this would be appropriate. I enjoy National Geographic, and really expect a lot more objectivity and truth. Have Sunni Islam grown to surpass Catholicism? That would be a more fair comparison. If you look at denominations, it’s probably safe to say that Catholicism is still the largest religious denomination in the world. Are we going to compare all Buddhists as just one group as well?
