I Don't see the case made at all.
Labels are used because they mean something important to the labelers.
They mean something important to the labelers because other things are less important to the labelers.
That's just a PSYCHOLOGICAL and SOCIOLOGICAL fact.
Priorities are priorities. Weasel words do not cancel out priorities. Weasel words do not render priorities NON-priorities. PRIORITIES ARE PRIORITIES.
Sooner or later priorities reveal themselves in behavior as well as word choices, word tones, word frequencies etc.
That's just a linguistic, psychological and sociological fact.
People typically talk about double chocolate Hagen Daz MORE than they do vanilla BECAUSE THEY LIKE chocolate MORE than they do vanilla.
Priorities, preferences show up sooner or later in a diversity of ways.
Here we have very large group "A" scattered over a wide area. Let's just pretend for argument that the percentages are--40% of the churches are named after Mary or Joseph. Another 30% are named after other saints.
In the same County, let's pretend we have another large group "B"--and 20% of their churches are named some variation of:
The Church of the Holy Muffler
Another 20% are named some variation of
The Church of the Holy Turbor Chargers
And another 30% of the churches are named some variation on
The Church of the Holy Mag Wheels.
Are you trying to tell me that the church labels would have absolutely no correspondence with the differing priorities, values, preferences between group "A" vs group "B"???
I hope not. I'd consider that an ignorant perspective.
In another display of gross ignorance you jumped to a conclusion rather than doing a little simple research. In most instances Catholic Churches are named for the Feast Day of their founding taken from the Liturgical Calendar. It has nothing to do with the gestalt or what is considered preferentially important.
