What the heck does this article have to do with Catholics per say. The study was primarily talking about Protestant evangelical and mainline faith traditions?

Like it or not, Pope Frank, as leader of the largest Christian denomination in the world, sets the agenda for most of the competing protestant brands. Sort of like a Pope John Paul II in reverse.

JP2 was the gold standard. Frank is Mao without the charisma.

From 2008–2018, Catholics saw the greatest decline as a share of the population in 24 states, though they increased their share of the population in Washington, D.C.

No,if you read it, the article was about religious affiliation in the USA, and thus the scope includes NONES, black Protestants, Jews, Mainline churches, Catholics and evangelicals. But the Christian Post.com being a mainly evangelical voice (the Christian Post is a Global Partner of the World Evangelical Alliance and a Member of the Evangelical Press Association, and its executive editor is Richard Land, president of Southern Evangelical Seminary) then its headline highlights what would be of interest to its readers.

Including,

In 46 states and in Washington, D.C., the nones have grown the most... In the past 25 years, from 1993–2018, evangelicals declined nationwide by 7.4%, according to the GSS measurements. Between 2008 and 2018, the nones have risen by nearly the same amount, 7.3%, according to CCES data. Using GSS data, the shift in nones is just over a half of 1 percentage point per year since 1993.

But i understand that as a RC you might not like to see reported that Catholics increased their share of the population in Washington, D.C., a locality that has the 4th highest rate of abortion, and in fiscal 2015 , the District of Columbia sent the fewest people into the military, compared with the 50 states, but that is overall consistent with the relationship btwn liberalism and Catholics.
