We are about 5% of the population right now although it is growing as Catholics migrate south from the midwest and northeast. But no, there aren't a lot of wealthy Catholics in Georgia, some, but not a lot. We actually have a decent perecentage of non-Catholics that attend our school, maybe 15%.

Having grown up in an area where everyone was Catholic, I actually appreciate being in the minority. It gives you the opportunity to explain the faith to Protestants that have never met a Catholic. I read a funny story from the late 1960's where a priest was sent to rural Georgia as a missionary. The kids would lift up their cassocks to look for a tail because they were taught that all Catholic priests were devils and they wore cassocks to hide their tails. Our Archbishop (Wilton Gregory) is black and is a pretty good guy.

My kids go to an independent Catholic school which means it isn't owned by the Archdiocese.
