Read an overlong but interesting story by two American Evangelical missionaries to Guatemala who wound up converting to Catholicism. They kept looking for an acculturated form of Guatemalan Protestantism but said that all they could see was a very particular USA kind of religion colonizing the locals.
They described it "like watching The Dukes of Hazzard dubbed in Spanish." LOL!
IMHO, the Latinos are returning the favor, keeping the US Catholic Church alive by massive illegal immigration. Do you think that could have anything to do with the US Bishops' shameless aiding and abetting?
Being the longtime non-practicing Catholic that I am, I realize that traditional Catholic dogma would not cause me much problem --Trinity, Incarnation, Transubstantiation--, but Catholic morality would make me nuts. Not just the gay thing (which I understand but can't live with), but the whole Ten Minutes Old social justice socialism: anti death penalty, pacifism, preferential option for the poor statism, etc. To me, the very definition of "pontificating".

Social justice socialism - unfortunately has invaded all Western religions, and greatly to our detriment.
