“• Roughly 60 percent of Americans raised as Catholics are no longer practicing Catholics – approximately one
third have left the church entirely, while another third are only nominally Catholic. No denomination in America has gone through more rapid or wrenching change.
• However, the overall share of the population that is Catholic (just under 25 percent) has held steady. For while
“Anglo” Catholics (mainly the grandchildren of European immigrants) have been rushing out of one door, Latino
Catholics have been entering through another.
• For Catholics aged 18-34, 59 percent are Latino. Catholicism in America is well on its way to becoming a
majority-Latino religion”

What percentage of Protestants practice?

If you’re going to cite stats then you should use the same statistics across all of them.

Well one day they’ll regret it. The other 40% is still 50 times bigger than any other Christian denomination in the country. The Catholic Church is not for wimps. Takes a man to be a good Catholic.
