Now this is kinda fun. Here is a Huffington Post article with the 25 metropolitan areas with the greatest proportions of Catholics. To make very blanket regional judgments, American Catholics are:
- Everyone (New York – #2)
- Where I live (Chicago – #4)
- Smog-breathers (Los Angeles – #6)
- Bad drivers (Miami – #7)
- Love a good time (Las Vegas – #8)
- Live in chilly humidity (San Francisco – #11)
- … and dry heat (Phoenix – #12)
- Hypocritical, lying scumbags (Washington, D.C. – #20)
- Coffee-lovers (have you met me?) (Seattle – #24)
- Hipsters (Portland – #25)
And there’s more on the list, obviously. Take a minute and click through at least for the pictures – they look great!
Obviously written by a non-Catholic. It says nothing about guilt. (Gosh, I even feel guilty about bringing that up. Forgive me, please) 🙂
Ha! I don’t know if there’s any regional scrupulosity stereotype. Maybe we can assign that one to Cleveland?
In other words, American Catholics are just as American as any other group.
Love it. Fun read.
