text: I wouldn't make much of it, Jay. There are bound to be Catholic casualties, as it were (or casualties among the adherents of any dominant religious tradition) , in a religious market place open to proselytism, competition, sheep hustling, etc.  Mormons flooded Chile, especially during the Pinochet era, and are now suffering the consequences of Mormon overreach and their building spree. Many Chileans thought Mormonism would bring them instant American wealth as if the angel's golden wings atop a temple would open and close them to money, only to be disappointed later on. Now Mormon missionaries are flooding Europe, to a degree. George Romney was a missionary in Paris, France. His success rate was poor. Why some people are attracted to it, including Catholics, is a mystery. Mormonism is a cloud of ambiguity wrapped in American myth. Foolish to try to tear it apart to figure or compute conversions when such religious transformations are often as short-lived as weeks in a person's life.
