“found that 31 percent of Americans were raised Catholic, but less than 25 per cent of them still identify as Catholic”

Now compare that to the 62-52, or 20 percent losses for protestants.

Is it really true that it’s the Catholic church that’s suffering the highest losses? Really? That’s not what I’m seeing.

Whole denominations - the Episcopalians, Lutherans, Presbyterians, Methodists, are getting stomped? Why? Because they’ve abandoned what God teaches and have decided to go with the baby boomer ideals, “if it feels good, do it”.

The questions you should be asking is why is the Catholic church doing better with White people than Protestant churches are doing with White people?

"Better" in what sense? Raw numbers? Percentages? Ratios?
