MN has a total population of around 5,270,000, so 28% of the population of MN would be close to 1,500,000 persons. 28% sounds about right to me, since MN must be more Catholic than the nation as a whole. Don’t know why Wikipedia would say that the Catholic pop in MN would be 1,260,660, or 28%, since it can’t be both.
In any event, I’m glad to hear that Archbishop Nienstedt is reminding MN Catholics of the scientific truth that life begins at conception, the moral truth that abortion is the intentional taking of an innocent human life, and the spiritual truth that to support abortion is to engage in the sin of scandal that disqualifies one from taking Communion.
What percentage of MN is Lutheran? I had a friend from MN, and he said that almost everyone, in that state, is Lutheran or Catholic. When I was there, in 2008, for the Republican National Convention, I saw churches of several denominations, including Baptist, Methodist, and Assembly of God.
