What is the most Catholic city/area in the US? (largest, Los Angeles)

[MichelleD0909]

I think it would probably have to be New Orleans.

Looks like it may be Providence RI

The archdiocese of Los Angeles is the largest in the nation. Southern California is strongly Catholic.

NJ/NY/CT/RI/MA- It's pretty much "The Catholic belt"

~ The one thing these guys all have in common- Strong Italian/Irish/Hispanic influences

Practicing Catholics? I'd say metro areas like Cincinnati, St. Louis, Pittsburgh, Kansas City, New Orleans, and the Southwest

San Antonio is twice the size of El Paso.

By percentage, the two Texas cities are probably very close in number of Catholics.

Boston/Los Angeles?

In terms of practicing and more devout it seems to be areas that are in or near the Bible Belt. This mainly is areas along the Gulf Coast and Lower Midwest.
