Catholicism in Iceland today

[edit]

"today about 5,500 Icelanders are Catholic" seems to be outdated. According to the Statistical Yearbook of Iceland for 2015 (PDF, 17.25 MB, page 235), there are 11,911 members of the Roman Catholic Church in Iceland. However, that doesn't say how many of them are "Icelanders" (i.e. citizens of Iceland), probably many of them are from Poland and other predominantly Catholic countries. So I'm not sure how to update this, maybe just write "as of 2015, there were 11,911 members of the Roman Catholic Church in Iceland"? Gestumblindi (talk) 16:22, 10 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Well (talking to myself), the International Religious Freedom Report 2014 for Iceland says that "foreigners constitute an estimated 80 percent of the Catholic population, mostly from Poland, other European countries, and the Philippines", so I'll add this information together with the number from the Statistical Yearbook, that should suffice for now.
