Let’s be real, folks... “Megachurches” aren’t influential; sees are. People attend whatever megachurch they feel comfortable with. There are as many members of Catholic parishes as there are of all Protestant denominations combined.

True, but Roman Catholics don’t influence elections/Republican politics. If that were the case Rhode Island, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New Jersey would be fountains of religious activism and Republican strongholds.

Then get off your duffs and do something instead of saying how great Catholicism is over Protestantism. In the south ( east of Texas ) you are in the minority.

Mind if I puke?

1. Roman Catholic Cathedral of Los Angeles

I don't know about influential, but when you are able to write a check for $600 million to avoid trial, you are certainly one of the richest.

11. Falls Church Episcopal Church

Falls Church isn't Episcopal. It's part of the Anglican Church of Nigeria.

Thank you for posting this — I’m sure it reflects the numbers along the way. This article certainly didn’t.

You forgot to mention John Kerry’s church. LOL!

[JCEccles]

The Church of Jesus Christ of latter-day Saints.

It's a participatory "roll up your shirtsleeves" church staffed by almost exclusively by an unpaid lay ministry, a church where worshippers are expected to show their love for God and Jesus Christ through service to others. There isn't a single Rick Warren-style "rockstar" among any of the leadership. No entertainment value to be had. No pressure to satisfy itching ears.

Don't you mean "Mega-ecclesial communities"? ;-)

Influential, yes.

As for Roger Mahoney and his Taj Mahoney...
for good or for evil, that's a whole other question.
