As the Pope leads mass today in Washington D.C., the Baltimore Sun has a story about an increase in Hispanic Catholics has molded the current Catholic church in the United States.
One-third of Catholics are Hispanic, the Sun reports, many of whom are under 40.
Many say the flow of Hispanics has been good for the church, perhaps filling a void from others falling away from the church.
The feature zeroes in on a Catholic church in Baltimore experiencing a new Hispanic wave.

Did you watch the Mass? Apparently EWTN was flooded with emails, during the Mass, complaining about the first reading being in Spanish. The hosts also commented on the "prolonged display of multiculturalism" and the "Amazon flavor" of the music, and mentioned that the intercessions were being read in various "foreign" languages. Wow. It was quite the display of unembarassed xenophobia.
