[edit] Catholics by state

It would be nice if this article included a table listing the population of Catholics by state (both in absolute numbers and as a percentage of the population). —Psychonaut 01:43, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

This is, of course, a shifting set of numbers every year. I think you can get most of it from the citations now in the Statistics section. GRBerry 02:24, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Photo

Could someone please replace that picture? Let's not use the cathedral with the ugliest, most modernistic architecture in the country, please! That building does not say "Catholicism" but instead proudly proclaims something like "United Nations Meditation Center". Chadrack 21:48, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

I agree, put The St. Patrick cathedral instead!

Wow, that's a terrible-looking cathedral. Looks more like a Protestant Baptist "megachurch" crossed with a Mexican mudhut than a bastion of Catholicism.Childe Roland of Gilead 21:09, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Okay, I changed it. I thought Chicago's Holy Name Cathedral would be better. It is far more traditional and more attractive than the one in L.A. DBQer 21:03, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Percentage of Catholics per State Table

Why is it that in the article, it's stated that only 27% of Pennsylvanians are Catholic, but on Pennsylvania's page, it states that nearly 54% are Catholic? ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pennsylvania#Religion ) That's a pretty significant discrepancy. AMStecker (talk) 02:13, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
