OK. this guy's math is shit. Absolute shit.
According to Amazon, the shipping weight of 1,000 communion wafers is 272g. Let's assume the box itself weighs 50g. Each communion wafer, therefore, would weigh 222 mg. (0.222 g).
Let's assume Jesus weighed 65kg (average weight of male in Asia).
It would take nearly 293,000 communion wafers to equal the weight of a single Jesus.
If the average "holy" Catholic goes to mass once per week, plus the major religious holidays, maybe they eat 60 wafers per year. That's only 13.32 g of Jesus. At that rate, it would take 4,879 years for a single person to eat a Jesus-equivalent of communion wafers.
There are 1.2B Catholics in the world. Not all of them, however, are going to mass every week. In the USA, for example, a recent poll shows that only 39% of Catholics go to mass every week. Of course, there is likely great variability in this number across countries. Let's be generous and say that 60% of the 1.2B Catholics in the world go to Mass every week. Let's say the remaining 40% go to Mass, on average, 5 times per year.
Global Annual Jesuses Consumed:
1.2B (Catholics) * 60% (highly pious) * 60 wafers/year (weekly mass + holidays/weddings/etc); +
1.2B (Catholics) * 40% (bad Catholics) * 5 wafers/year (Xmas, Easter, a few other times); =
10.123 Million kg of wafers.
Which equals 155,742 Jesuses per year consumed.
On a weekly basis, that's just shy of 3,000 Jesuses consumed.
