Catholicism Fading in Latin America

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Seeing as how:

-I'm an evangelical, albeit a far more liberal one than most.
-I know plenty of people who also are who were raised Catholic.
-Seeing as how the emergent church is growing exponentially and the demographics its gaining amongst are also abandoning Catholicism in droves, it's safe to say this is not isolated and part of a much bigger trend.

I think it'd be a bit hypocritical of me to condemn this. I can't exactly say "Oh no no people in Minnesota can convert from Catholicism all they want but not in Latin America, that's wrong!"

I believe Brazil has a non-insignificant Lutheran population, as there were many German settlers there. Of course not all Lutherans are liberal...

Also I believe a bunch of the indigenous people in Guatemala are Methodist as their missionaries were pretty prevalent there, but I'll assume they're nowhere near as liberal as northern Methodist. But yeah there are mainline Protestants in Latin America.

Also it's not too uncommon here for Hispanics to be ELCA, not saying that most or a majority are, but it's common enough so that it's not considered weird or unusual. ELCA works with a lot of immigrants groups so some of them end up converting, and they get a decent number of first or second generation American converts too.
