- AlexandrB 7y agoCatholicism as an organization has a lot of skeletons in the closet. I'm surprised it's not declining faster.
- scarmig 7y agoSpillover effect. Catholics might not have the terrible reputation that evangelicals do, but they all fall under the Christian umbrella.
- diego_moita 7y ago> Catholicism has never been that, and it's declining too. In the U.S. you are likely correct. But in Spain, Portugal, Argentina and many parts of Latin America it was a strong supporter of fascist/authoritarian regimes up until the 70's and 80's. Also, up until the 19th century Catholicism was the foundation of very authoritarian and absolutist monarchies.
