Roman Catholics In America Are Now 34% Hispanic

[LuteHawk]

The latest Pew Research study has the following
break down of Roman Catholics in America:

59% White
34% Hispanic
3% Black
3% Asian
1% Native American

There are about 51 million adults who are RC
in America. About half of them vote GOP and
half vote Democrat. They are losing White
members and gaining Hispanic members.
Most RC members are losing patience with the
current Pope's failure to punish priests who
are guilty of child sex abuse.

I am Catholic and did have Casey’s taco pizza last night. I might be transitioning.

I am Catholic, and its not the current Pope's failures. I lose patience with bishops getting involved in US public policy.

Does that mean Catholics get more respect now?

 

[LuteHawk]

About 20% of the American population is
Roman Catholic. That is a significant fact.
It helps us understand their influence on
daily life in our nation.

 

[UNIowaHawk]

This doesn't even make sense as they are combining race and ethnicity. Most Central American Hispanics are White.

Should be:

~34% Hispanic
~66% Non-Hispanic

Or

~90% White
~6% Black
~3% Asian
~1% Native American

I'm a recovering Catholic.

Its not a monolith.

How are Catholics suddenly altering their genetic makeup? I’ll have to inform my Catholic friend back in Iowa that his family are no longer 100% Italian but are now 34% Hispanic. No idea about the remaining 66%. That means tacos and enchiladas twice a week, right?

 

[LuteHawk]

The Hispanic population in America is growing.
They feel comfortable as Roman Catholics.
They will continue to become a large segment
of the RC Church in America. Hispanic people
look to Christianity as an important part of life.

Yep it’ll be interesting, Democrats think they will have their vote.. but it’s going to be hard to tell these devote Catholics abortion are ok..

 

[Pepperman]

Does that mean Catholics get more respect now?

Of course not, but it will mean some assumptions about how certain demographics vote will be called into question. My guess is Hispanics aren’t as on board with wokism, cancel culture, hating on religion, and opening the border for all (in an attempt to get more blue votes in the southwest)

Lute,

There are more than just "Roman" Catholics. That's just one church within Catholicism.

There are millions of people in different Catholic churches like the Coptic, Greek, Armenian and Meronite, etc.

"Catholic" just means "universal" in Greek. Not all Catholics are "Roman" Catholics.

Correct
There are technically 23 Eastern Catholic Churches, and 1 Western Catholic/Latin Rite (this would be the most common in the USA). Then there are all the Orthodox Churches which an argument could be made that even despite the schism they are apart, yet in a fight, with the larger Catholic Church because of the valid sacraments.

 

[anon_p5xhdxl4apz5n]

Yes the outreach to the Latinos from the Catholic Church has been incredible, I wish it was better for the other main minority group in this country, what a shit show that has been.

 

[Bloody Run Hawk]

Why the fascination with the Roman Catholic Church Lute?

 

[anon_p5xhdxl4apz5n]

The Ruthenian Catholic Church I heard had a presence in Iowa City, they were operating out of one of the Latin Rite Churches, they have since moved to Muscatine though.

We can start a Go Fund Me page for you when you deem it necessary. There's still a little love left in HROT.

Lutherans:Catholics::ISU fans:Iowa Fans

I’m a lapsed Catholic which along with Sacramental Catholics, I believe is the rough equivalent of a tavernHok.

Well obviously he likes boys. 🙄


Sorry Lute. Low hanging fruit there. You know I love you!!!! ❤️

Jesus is still white and that is all that matters.

 

[BHawkeye1999]

Like Joe Biden, I'm a semi recovered cafeteria Catholic. Like all the Catholics I grew up with it plays a very, very small part of our daily lives. Weddings/funerals...

That's sad.

Imagine Jesus is real and one misses eternal life? That's huge.

Like you, I'm against abortion unless I've knocked up the neighbor girl again.

(There are young girls on both sides of our house. It's not the same girl you sick bastards.)

Two-thirds of the Supreme Court justices are Catholic. Talk about influence!

And are still Mexican soccer fans, so clearly the positive effects of religion are overrated.

How many of the SCOTUS bench is Catholic? Quite a few, more than 20%.

EDIT: Just now saw Trad's post. I knew it was a high number but wasn't sure how high.

If Lute's info is accurate the 50/50 Dem/Rep split would suggest that a lot RC's have a firm grasp on the important idea of separation of church and state
