Catholicism’s Hot New Spots in the US

Did you know Catholicism is booming in the South and West? Since the first American pope (born in Chicago!) took over, states like Florida and Arizona are seeing huge jumps in Catholic populations—even as the Northeast and Midwest lose millions. Florida’s up 5.6% and Arizona’s Catholic crowd grew from 14.6% to 21.3%! But get this: there are fewer churches, so some parishes now have over 10,000 people. Wild, right? #Catholicism #ReligionTrends #USNews #FaithShift #Culture
