(and is why white Catholics are still much more Democratic than white Protestants, even if both voted for Romney).

That's because the numbers are heavily skewed by the South.

Don't let BRTD know this. Tongue

How do you think Catholic-turned-Protestants and Protestant-turned-Catholics voted?

It seems that basically only olds go to Catholic Mass regularly.

Some mainline churches are actually pretty good at that. For example this church is Methodist: http://iamembrace.com

My parents' church also has a relatively high number of youngs too especially considering the city it's in.

BRTD, is that the church that schedules its services based upon the area code it's in?

Yes. If a church here did that they'd start at 6:12PM, which is actually a nice kind of quirky touch.

You say quirky, I say pretentious and difficult to schedule around. (It is, admittedly, quirky as well as those things.) Then again the fact that they have services in the evening at all is a blessing to those of us who, er, really aren't what you'd call morning people, shall we say.

Incidentally there is a church here that I have gone to that also has its services at 6:05PM, the reasoning basically being that if the target demographic intends to go somewhere at 6PM it's quite likely they'll be a little late (true).
