Not in Los Angeles or other heavily Hispanic cities.

>>Not in Los Angeles or other heavily Hispanic cities. <<

You're just making presumptions. I've had friends move to LA and be baffled by the fact that although the place is predominantly Catholic, they see very few Hispanics at mass; the Spanish-language masses are mostly empty.

I don't know if you have a different experience, but your comment "or other heavilu Hispanic cities" suggests you are talking from presumption.

According to Catholic-hierarchy.org, LA is only 37% Catholic. In 1950, before the illegals took over, it was 18%. Compare to San Diego, which has very few illegals comparably, which is 30% Catholic, up from 25% in 1970.

These numbers are very consistent with Catholicism's growth in areas outside the original Catholic strongholds in the Northeast & Upper Midwest areas.
