Despite being Hindu, I realized just how big a gulf there was between the conservative Protestants and the Catholics when my sister's best friend in junior high had to break up with her little Baptist boyfriend b/c she was a Catholic and the boy's father didn't approve of his dating a Papist. In Texas, Catholicism is heavily identified with being Latino -- in some cases from old wealthy families like in San Antonio, but in East Texas, mostly identified with recent immigrants.PGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09381347581328622706noreply@blogger.com
