The most pro-sodomy states also tend to be the most Catholic states.

Just an observation.

Not as much as you think. I’m evangelical and this is a pretty offensive article. I’d rather focus on the muzlum threat to ALL of Christianity than an stupid attempt to tie the RCC to murder rates.

The RCC may have elected an idiot communist as their pope, but the rank-and-file Catholics are still Christians.

As an evanglical...I am offended by this post.

Yet, you can post what you want.
Who am I to attempt to oppress your 1A rights?

.....Which means what?

Catholics are gangbangers, or something?

Sheesh

Not really. I’m kind of an a$$hole and not a friend of the RCC. But I HATE people who use statistics to draw BS conclusions. Liars with statistics are one of the reasons why modern America sucks so bad.

Hunh...my troll meter just went off. Seriously, posting this piece of click bait and posting dynamite right now, when the biggest threads are on the shooting, seems like a serious effort to deflect the topic of a possible ISIS involved massacre.

Just my humble opinion.

Which post? The one in which I said evangelicals would love this? If you’re an evangelical who doesn’t like this, I salute you. But as a hardened warrior in the religious wars of FR, I know you are in the minority.

None of the non-Latin American cities, except New Orleans, are historically Catholic,. The Latin American cities are historically Catholic, although Mexico has a history of anti-clericalism, from the early 1900s until about 25 years ago. Note that none of the cities are in Europe, in either the historically Protestant north, the historically Catholic south, or the historically Orthodox east.

Religious heritage, Catholic or not, is not the reason for the high rates of violence.

It might be more about race than religion.

Italians and Irish are considered “white” and these countries are almost entirely catholic.

Not sure whether to count Sicily as white or not.

31,328 abortions in New York City in 2012.

196,082 abortions in England in 2011.

The other homicide numbers are rounding errors compared to that.
