Why are Louisiana Catholics the least charitable in the south?

Cause we poor.

Because we’re not idiots

Explain.

Probably because the Catholic Church doesn't push 10% tithing, especially on poor people. They're taught that you can volunteer and give your time in lieu of money.

Well I did include myself, point taken.

Because the idea that South La folks practice southern hospitality like the rest of the south is a myth. The southern part of the state is full of greedy rude arse holes.

What % do you give

And hospitality has absolutely nothing to do with a monetary donation.

They spent it all on beer and raffle tickets at the church fair.

Still beating Mississippi.

BARELY

It probably has more to do with Catholic population density. The rest of the South is very religious, but Catholics are the minority.

Catholics in those areas may feel the need to give more to keep up with the other larger denominations. I also suspect they give more to help maintain the same level of charitable outreach and programs in their area as there are in heavier catholic regions of the country.

Catholic dense areas in the NE and Midwest don’t appear to give a large percentage either.
