A totally crap HN headline: the referenced article refers transitively to "The Catholic Church in America". More than a small difference. Even the Economist headline fails to identify the subject America — north, south, or both.

At least the The Economist has an article; Patheos has a less then a gloss. Check out the article in The Economist. Ignore the other feeble one.

Too bad I can't figure out how to diss this HN post. Reference the article directly, or at least offer a reference to a decent commentary thereon.

There's more than one "Catholic Church", kumarksi. Please try to discriminate somewhere below the planetary level in such matters.

You just wasted my time.
