[quote=Anonymous]I'm Catholic but grew up in the Midwest. My experience is that most Catholics in Washington, like people from other faith traditions, come from other parts of the country. I get the sense that there is a small, elite society of upper-crusty Catholics in NW DC and BCC, mostly Irish-American, who display the cliquish tendencies cited by PPs. But the large majority of other Catholics blend pretty seamlessly into the larger society. My kids go to a parochial school with a sizable non-Catholic minority and I've never heard a comment from any of the non-Catholic parents that they feel marginalized or excluded. Even many of the Catholic parents, especially younger ones, grew up as non-Catholics and joined the Church as adults. The days of ethnic Catholic ghettoes are long gone.[/quote]
