A bit of a Lentorama extra today, as there's word of this report noting that the number of Catholics in New England has dropped quite a bit. Since 1990, there was a 15 percent drop in the number of people who self-identified as Catholics, while in that same time the number of people who didn't identify with any religion went up 14 percent.
Nationally, the number stayed about the same, thanks in large part to Hispanic immigration, which is also considered to be the main factor in the growth of Catholic populations in the south and west. Perhaps I should start doing the Lentorama in Spanish?
