Calling all Southerners

[ilovemyglo]

Who ever said that they had anticatholicism in Louisville-
this is a VERY Catholic town... even on Wikipedia it says how large the Catholic population is here. It's mostly due to the fact we have strong Irish and German roots. There are 28 Catholic schools here even. I would be shocked if people were rude about religion here.

Also- I have to say a negative to Memphis. As well as Birmingham Alabama....
However I lOVE CHarleston SC

I was surprised when I encountered it firsthand as a Catholic by one of my coworkers at a major bank. I didn't think I would bump into it in L'ville for precisely the reasons you state but I was wrong. This was back in the 80s and my coworker did not grow up in L'ville, but was raised in Appalachia. Not that her origins gave her license to spew her rhetoric...

Exactly. One might be discriminated against for NOT being Catholic in Louisville, but Louisville was, and is, so inbred Catholic it hurts. This is coming from someone who grew up there, left for Boston and Hartford, then moved back for about 10 more years! I also endured an Archdiocese of Louisville education for 13 years (yes, including pre-school.)
