To tell you the truth, Pope Francis pick was obviously politics.
A.) To keep Latinos Catholic.
B.) To appeal to younger White Catholics.
This is a ploy to keep Catholics staying Catholic, in my eyes.
Some Catholic clergy, are probably glad that the USA turning Catholic Latino.
If, only it were entirely true, sizable numbers go to Pentecostal & other Evangelical Spanish speaking churches upon arrival to the USA.
As for me, I have mixed feelings.
On one hand,I'm an American, on the other hand I'm Catholic.
It's a bit hard to pick, it really depends on how angry White Protestants get me.
I could very easily be swayed to say Latino Catholics replacing White Protestants is a good thing.
Or
Vice versa.
