WOW that is a huge number. From the Lafayette paper see What's happening to 'I do'?
A curious article. Louisiana also has some of the highest numbers of Church attendance and now we see coupled with that is the 2 highest of people living together!! It is interesting that no members of the Clergy , Catholic or not , were interviewed.
Also a breakdown as to race and ethnic groups I think would have been helpful too.
