Why bother? Aren't most American Protestants anyway?
23% is catholic and a lot of tradcath converts are hardcore pro-trumpers.
Damn that's a lot, I didn't know that
Its amongst the highest of the "traditionally protestant countries" (see Germany: around historically 60% prot & 40% catholic; and Netherlands: 60% protestant & 40% catholic, Switzerland:57% prot 41% catholic and the UK: 90% prot & 9% catholic)

Issuing papal edicts against DEI and Woke, presumably
