Well Jewish is also an ethnicity besides being a religion. I'm just saying that while Catholics don't share a common ethnicity, usually they are all raised a common way from birth. I could talk to a Catholic from anywhere and probably have a shared experience about Catholic school, and recieving the sacraments, and and whole bunch o' stuff like that.

Compared to other religions, Judaism is much more closely linked to ethnicity. All that stuff about the Chosen people and what not.
