I didn't realize they were still that racist. Just the same, Catholic schools remain the school of choice for many Philadelphians, and there are more non-Catholics than catholics in them.
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.
Well, the Southern Baptists I deal with in my family in North Carolina have a different set of problems with Pastors addicted to serial adultery and seduction
What can I say. North Carolina? At least it's hetero sex with consenting adults.
I don't see the relevance of your impugning my diocese?
Its just the way things are around here - most whites in the city are Catholic, the vast majority of blacks are not. If new Protestant Churches move into the black neighborhoods, it has nothing to do with things going on in my own Church. Its just Protestants or unbelievers moving to a different denomination.

Not at all true. You can look at the statistics on the web if it interests you.

Click on clusters on reports by geography, and then click on the 2002 cluster report for any given cluster. It will give you the school attendance and the number of non-Catholics attending. Even in the black areas of town, the majority of children in the Catholics schools are Catholic. In the white areas, its around 90% Catholic.
