Yes, but at least they don't have the problems with priests the RCC has been having of late. Granted, that's only in a small number of parishes, but that's not the impression many get from the media.
Lets be clearer. Philadelphia has white neighborhoods, one hispanic neighborhood, and black neighborhoods. The white and hispanic areas are 40-90% Catholic (mostly depending on how many Jews are in the area, Protestants are a very minor force among whites around here). The black nieghborhoods are 1-5% Catholic. If Southern Baptists are moving into the black neighborhoods, it has zilch to do with Catholicism.
