37% of US Hispanics are Evangelicals
A revolution is underway among America’s Latino population that will have profound implications for the future of American politics. Of the 41.3 million Hispanics in the United States today, 37 percent identify themselves as "born-again" or "evangelical." Just 10 years ago, the proportion that did so was about 15 percent. All told, there are now about 11 million Evangelical Protestant and 3 million Evangelical or Charismatic Catholic Latinos in the United States. In 1996, there were only 4 million.
An estimated 1 million US Hispanics become Protestant every year.
I gotta say it again.
If we don't evangelize our own, someone else will do it for us.
If we don't form our own, someone else will do it for us.

Let us pray for a fruitful dialogue and cooperation between the CELAM bishops' gathering and Hispanic Catholics here in the United States. A real conversation, not just a polite exchange of representatives.
