Hello all,
There are not a lot of Catholics in the bible belt. It is mostly Protestant denominations. In the USA most of the Catholics were European immigrants who tended to settle in the cities. There are enormous Italian and Irish immigrant populations in New York City and Boston and surrounding areas. In the Bible Belt there are more bluebloods.
American Catholicism
EB is quite right. The "Bible Belt" (Protestant) is largely the Old South below the Ohio River and Mason Dixon Line and east of Texas. It is a huge region dominated by Evangelical Christians. The region on the map in blue, discounting the western U.S., where Catholics are least illustrates that almost perfectly.
I have no idea where the "blue bloods" reference relates to the facts since the Bible Belt is strongest among rural areas, farmers, and generally those often negatively referred to as "Red Necks" (poor and ignorant).
Still, Catholics go well beyond the old large cities of the northeast. Spanish, French, Polish, Portuguese, Latinos, Filipinos, and many other ethnic groups, as well as the Irish and Italians, spread their influence well beyond as you can see in the darker red areas.
That's also besides the fact that American Catholics whose generations have been in the U.S. beyond the first immigrants tend to apply a more independent brand of Catholicism seeing the Pope as leader but not so often accepting Catholic doctrine as directed. As the article given by Fred shows,
"This is because folks are taught that they will suffer eternal torment in hell if they don't claim to "believe" in the dogmas like "God is trustworthy" and "Jesus died for my sins" Evangelicals are by definition committed to obeying doctrine as precisely outlined. Hence the greater mental repression ironically generates the need for greater sexual...RELEASE!

When you are continually told you are going to hell for fornication or worse...isn't the safest (but not excusable) outlet for lust porn.
I'm not surprised at all. Haven't we seen where so many holier-than-thou Protestant ministers have had affairs, sometimes homosexual ones.
It's entirely possible that people in the south just last longer than everyone else. Or keep the video open to see where the plot is going.
Isn't is usually all over her face. :lol: :lol: :lol:
Happy endings,
