Moving South…
For those who know their history, this is a case of “back to the future”–since the South was orignally a Catholic stronghold under the Spanish and French.
From The Daily Dispatch:
For every Boston, there is a Knoxville, Tenn. For every Philadelphia, there is a Savannah, Ga.
“The church is closing parishes in the Northeast, but Catholics are building them in the South and the Southwest,” said Wagner. “We know that a lot of that is driven by immigration and population trends. … So if you really want to know where Catholicism is alive and where it’s struggling, you can’t just look at membership statistics. You have to ask other questions.”
