Mobile, Alabama is 1/3 Catholic. There is a Catholic church in every neighborhood. On Sundays, there are Masses from 7 am to 9:30 at night. Mobile is home to a Visitation monastery and a Carmelite monastery. The Sisters of Charity have run a Catholic hospital since the 1840s. Mobile also has the oldest college in Alabama - Spring Hill College, founded in 1830, is a Jesuit college. The number of Catholic grammar schools rivals the number of public grammar schools and the archdiocese runs 2 high schools. There are also 2 Catholic nursing homes.

Conservative Catholicism may be growing, but Catholics all believe their parish is the best. My kids spent 12 years in Catholic schools, and hung around “Catholic” families. The sad fact is that most Catholics are lukewarm, dipping their toe in the water, just in case - the humanistic qualities of The Church has led to indifferentism (all Christians are alike) even within the religious. Of course, parishioners are generally nice people, but that will not get you through the narrow gates.

The Novus Ordo mass has destroyed much, and robbed the faith and zeal of many. The abuses are deeply disturbing. It's like the Wild West, with an anything goes atmosphere. I fear for those involved in these abuses. Over 30 years after my conversion from Protestantism I'd had enough. I now attend the TLM here in Irving, TX, a parish that is filled with faith and fervor and a vital orthodoxy in Faith and morals---the parish is bursting at the seams. Masses are packed! When I got there as a convert, I exclaimed,"Wow! This is where they've been hiding the Church I read about and converted to!" My wife and daughter were reluctant to attend at first. Once they did the mass transformed them! Now you couldn't take them from the Latin mass with a team of wild horses. I'm so thankful to God that dedicated and fervent souls preserved this, the Church's greatest treasure, often at great sacrifice and high personal costs. "Normal" parishes are said to have only 30% who believe in the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist.(My sense is this is an inflated number). Among those who attend the Latin mass surveys say the number of those who believe rises to 99%. No more Novus DisOrdo for me! We have vital and strong Traditionalist Catholic Churches in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. We feel fortunate to be here. Like many others, my friend in Pennsylvania must travel long distances to attend the TLM. For us, our parish is only 12 miles from us. We love it and are inexpressibly grateful.

It’s sad that San Antonio, TX, with its 3 major Catholic Universities didn’t make list, but our Archbishop is failing us! We’ve had many, many Catholic schools close under his watch and he completely ignores the poorest of his parishes. Very sad!

It's not altogether surprised to see a resurgence of Catholicism in areas traditionally associated with the Bible Belt. "Iron sharpens iron," as the old adage goes; the (constant) debates and disagreements with Protestant denominations have compelled Catholics to refine their faith and theology in ways that might not be as prevalent elsewhere.

Comparing the number of Catholic parishes against the total number of Christian churches could be useful. (I live in Jacksonville, Florida and this city seems to have TWO Protestsnt churches on every block.) Some other possible metrics could be the number of Catholic schools compared to the size of the local school district. That would be important to parents of school-age children.

Probably meant Right to life, which Evansville hosts the largest Right to life event in the US

How come New Britain Ct is not on this list? After all New Britain is heavily Polish and Catholic

There is the Roman Catholic Church and then there is the New Church of Modernity. Be careful of which one you are attending/observing.

Several Catholic families a week move from all over the country to Greenville, South Carolina.

St. Louis?!?! Now THAT'S hilarious. Kansas City, Missouri and Lincoln, Nebraska should be on this list.

@jimorr820 I am originally from Pittsburgh, PA and am a Catholic reconnecting with my faith, which is getting stronger every day. Pittsburgh has the most relics outside of The Vatican, it was recently revealed. Check it out.

I have lived in Southern Louisiana and it is shameful the amount of young people leaving the church. The priest scandal did not help. Oh well maybe when they are older they will come back to the church! 😢

"The priest scandal" is that the cleaned up version of "men in robes raping kids."

I appreciate this report, but am wondering from where many of your pictures were derived. I didn’t see the ethnic diversity of which many parishes enjoy. To my Catholic sensibility a significant marker is the inclusion of all ethnicities as children of God.

If all Catholics move to these places, who is going to evangelize the rest of Babylons, I mean cities.

Exactly! I can’t remember where I saw or who said it but someone mentioned once that we have sort of a duty (especially in our hometown) to stay and help change it for the better not leave it to rot. We have a responsibility to make the place we were born at a better place for its citizens and our future progeny

So there are Traditional Masses in these cities.🤣
