[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]South Louisiana is prominently catholic. They have parishes instead of counties, for example. Sheesh. Get your facts straight.[/quote]

+1  Clearly, more than a few posters on this thread don't understand the history of Louisiana and the background of the early settlers there, as in French and Catholic.[/quote]

And some are so uninformed they don't know the difference between a civil parish and an ecclesiastical parish.   Others don't know that the French sold Louisiana to the United States a long time ago.  Some don't know that Eunice, LA is about 100 miles (as the crow flys) from New Orleans.

To all those uniformed posters, I'd ask that you refrain from questioning another's life experience until you have walked in their shoes.  It's possible many Catholics are comfortable in the Bible Belt circa 2014, but some are not.  [/quote]

Why are you talking about Eunice? None of the colleges suggested here are there, plus Eunice is at least as Catholic as New Orleans, if not more.[/quote]

Not PP, but Eunice was the site of KKK activity earlier this year.  Though the "modern" KKK targets blacks, the KKK is a derivative of the "Know Nothings" - an anti-Catholic group.[/quote]
