I find that hard to believe & even if it were true, counting Catholics by single county is meaningless as diocese is what is officially used in determining that.

The Houston/Galveston Diocese is the largest in Texas & 11th largest in the United States. They have their own archbishop which is the closest thing we have here to The Pope.

Dallas' diocese & surrounding counties are under San Antonio's.

Houston's diocese was founded 43 years prior in 1847, Dallas' diocese was founded in 1890.

"As of 2010 the Catholic school network of the archdiocese (Houston/Galveston) is the largest private school network in the State of Texas. As of that year the archdiocese had 59 schools, with about 18,000 students enrolled"

Metro Matt, I've come to the conclusion that you are the Rachael84 of the Texas board. You ruin/try to ruin virtually every thread that even mentions Dallas and Houston in the same sentence. You even manage to turn even random threads where neither should really be a part of the conversation (like this one) into pissing matches.

Absolutely. How such an obvious troll (yes, mods, he is a troll) still remains unbanned is stunning.

There are no cities in TX that are wholly Liberal because all cities to a lesser extent El Paso are Fiscally Conservative. However TX cities do vary in the social category, with all of them trending towards socially liberal. I think the thread must be change to be which city is more socially conservative. The whole state of Texas, according to public opinion polls, hasn't change a lot fiscally, and it seems to stay that way even some experts including my Government professor stating that most urban regions are becoming more Fiscally Conservative.

So yes according with current trends (It might change, public opinion always does) Texas cities are becoming more Libertarian.

Libertarian= Socially liberal, Fiscally Conservative

163,325 more Southern Baptists in D/FW to be exact...at least going by the 11 year old figures you've provided.

Also LOL at using CMSA.

Im done with you dude. Youre impossible to have a discussion with because youre immune to logic, facts (except for the ones you like), and reason. Its all about distancing Houston from DFW with you and Im sick of it.

Peace out.

Damn. The justme02 and Metro Matt battles were fun. I was LMAO at the 176th Catholic/Protestant fight.

But the polls are a lot of garbage. People's so-called opinions are not reflective of their behaviors and actions. The state of Texas is financially in the dumps just like California is: the margin of difference in deficit is marginal between the two states.

And Libertarian does not always mean socially liberal. It usually means limited government control.

Im using the academically acceptable definition of Libertarian used in the study of Political Science. What you are referring to is the third largest Political Party in the US, the Libertarian Party whose stance is for limited government.

Depends on the polls, Im referring to academic polls done by ppl experience in polling, statistics, and sample bias, not idiotic polls from CNN or NBC. However you should always have critical eye while looking at these polls.

You entirely missed my point.
