Catholics in US return to pre-pandemic form, slowly, surely aleteia.org
A new study from the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate (CARA) at Georgetown University is examining the current rates in the United States of Catholic Mass attendance and infant baptisms and comparing them to pre-pandemic years. While there is still room to recover, the data shows that both attendance and baptism were on the upswing in 2022.
The portion of US adults who identify as Catholic has not changed very much from 2000 to 2022. A 2000 poll from Pew Research Center citied 25% of the country as Catholic, while in 2022 both Gallup and the General Social survey placed this figure at 23%.
