Moving to Florida, I thought I'd have a parish full of Hispanic Catholics when I would finally find my local home parish. (I'm from the Midwest, and most of my "Mexican"-American friends were 3rd generation or more "American".)
Not so, in fact nearly all the "Hispanic/Latino" families I've met are Evangelical, Pentacostal in particular.
Sad really, because in the next generation what will it take them to rediscover their Catholic Roots?
Why should they rediscover their Catholic roots? As Evangelicals their pastors preach "Jesus Christ crucified and risen from the dead." In their (former) Catholic parishes they are preached social justice and "be welcoming" to each other. Heck! It's enough to make me turn Evangelical at times, except when I realize that the Bible came to us from God within the heart of the Apostolic Church through the ministry of the Apostles.
Another good video from Michael Voris. Look at all the good the Bishops have done with their support of illegal immigration of Hispanics.
