“They look at a kind of charismatic Protestantism as a way of becoming more American, of assimilating.”
Assimilating is not they’re main interest here.

And the article makes no logical sense considering there are far more Americans of Irish or Italian Catholic origin than those from "charismatic Protestantism" background. (About 70 million Catholics in the U.S. vs. 30 million charismatic protestants), not to mention that charismatic Christianity is ALSO a growing movement WITHIN Catholicism itself (nearly one-quarter of all charismatics in the U.S. are Catholics), so if Hispanics were interested in charismatic Christianity, they wouldn't have to convert from Catholic to protestant in order to join a charismatic congregation.
Makes as much sense as arguing Hispanics are embracing Obamacare in order to curry favor with the general public, IMO.
