Nazism feels like an overstatement here but a rightward swing towards authoritarianism is clearly having its moment at various levels including the catholic church. See my post above about the US College of Bishops supporting Oklahoma's attempt to open a public catholic charter school using public funds. There is also liberalization in some of the protestant denominations, particularly with women and gays, and I know of people who have converted to Catholicism specifically because they like the old rules and the high unliklihood that the doctrines on those issues will ever change. As far as racial issues, there is significant segregation among catholic parishes, the Mexicans go to their churches, the whites to theres, Asians have their own parishes, etc., etc., it usually falls in line with population of the areas surrounding the parish. I don't know the demographics on Black catholics but I don't think it's a formidable block in the US. I know it's expanding in Africa, but the rich white folks at the suburban parishes aren't exactly exposed to that at any level.
