Assessment
Reliability Tier3
Reliability tier 3: a community-edited encyclopedia article, used here for its historical figure of 3.6 million faithful across 2,387 parishes in 1939, before the church's 1946 Soviet liquidation, and its current worldwide estimate of approximately 4.2 million members as of 2022, both figures drawn from the article's own cited scholarship rather than Wikipedia's independent research.
