What is there to "huh?" The statement stands for itself. Far fewer than half of the Mexican population identifies as practicing Catholics. As in, fewer than half the Mexican populace say that they attend mass, receive the sacraments, follow the teachings, or do anything that marks them as a Catholic aside from being baptised. And these are old studies in general. If the indicators are anything to go by, the numbers are even less today.

P.S. Do you have links for anything you've said thus far?
Mexico is about 84% Catholic, down from about 99% at one time, you are claiming that they come here and start becoming majority Catholics, while not having been Catholic in Mexico?
In America it is hard to keep up with how quickly they are leaving the Catholic church, that is why it is difficult to keep up with their numbers here, but we pro-lifers and political conservatives can rejoice at the fact that some of them are switching to Evangelical churches.
More importantly, what is the point of your posts, in a thread about Hispanics becoming more religious and more conservative?
"The report said Latino evangelicals are one of the fastest-growing segments of the churchgoing population, resulting from the conversion of millions of Spanish-speaking Catholics to Protestantism in the past few years."
Thank God, we need to convert democrats to becoming pro-life conservatives, it may save our nation.
