There are apparently no influential Catholic churches in the US? Hard to believe.

The churches are "unaffiliated, independent" churches. At least that's what the article said.

the article discussed "fastest growing" i haven't heard of a catholic church ever being referred to as "fast growing" something about the fact that catholics don't tend to be as out and about as the more evangelical churches, who tend to encourage "bring your friends, bring your family, bring your co-workers, bring some bum off the street!"

Well, there are none in the northeast, to say nothing of the Pacific Northwest.

I think they ranked churches that had at least 2,000 attendees.

We spread our largesse around. Could you imagine the weekly mass attendance if there were only one or two parishes in, say, St. Louis or Baltimore?
