Fellow CNS reporter Dennis Sadowski has been hard at work on a piece focusing on the diversity of the Catholic Church. His story will be reminiscent of another story that appeared in the National Catholic Reporter a little while back.
The Reporter’s story was centered on the diversity and changing demographics of the church in Texas. The article broke the state down into regions and explained the unique charisms of each region.
In addition to regions that may be predominately one particular race or ethnicity, the National Catholic Reporter article highlighted areas where an individual parish provides a microcosm of the entire state and perhaps country. It also touched on the relationship between the Catholic and evangelical communities in the region.
UPDATE: Here’s the story by Dennis Sadowski referred to above.
