Very true! You can't swing a cat at many of the non-denominational churches!

You do know at least one non-Catholic - me! I go to an American Evangelical Baptist Church, but in my heart of hearts, I'm "non-dom".

And yes, since Pittsburgh was founded by Scots-Irish Presbyterians and to a lesser extent, English (Angelicans), with the second large ethnic group coming is Germans (Lutheran), it's not as if there's just two groups competing.
