Being Catholic, though, I am most interested in the statement:
"Nominal Catholics who rarely go to church or don't adhere to Catholic teaching, Smith said, are less likely to stop calling themselves "Catholic" because religion tends to be more of a part of their "core identity" as Italians, Irish, Poles, Filipinos, Latinos or people from other Catholic homelands."
That pretty much agrees with my observations. There is a culturally Catholic identity as much as there is secular Jewish identity and no one tries to appeal to the former, it seems.
