How is it “self-evident” aside from a chauvanistic assumption Protestants don’t become Catholics, or Catholics don’t get converts?
The South is largely being colonized by Catholics from Mexico.

I am amazed that you think you can mind read. I have to tell you, you are overrating your super-powers.
If Catholicism is growing in the South because of conversions, just show me. I will accept any evidence that indicates it is so. The article does not mention that.
Until then, I just don’t have a reason to think it is more than lateral shifting. If that is true, I’m not sure this amounts to much of a story, unless the goal of Catholicism is to be evenly dispersed throughout the USA. If so, then I guess this is significant.
