And virtually every single predominantly Catholic country in this world is a third world hell hole.

Look at their economies and standard of living. And the superstition and syncretism rife in their religious practices.

The Protestant work ethic got it’s name from somewhere. There was never anything called the *Catholic work ethic*.

You left out this goal: 67. To manage the global economy...there is urgent need of a true world political authority..

such an authority would need to be universally recognized and to be vested with the effective power to...ensure compliance with its decisions from all parties...”- ENCYCLICAL LETTER CARITAS IN VERITATE

Ireland?

Italy?

France?

Croatia?

You don’t travel much do you?

“Look at their economies and standard of living. And the superstition and syncretism rife in their religious practices.”

Yeah, gee, there’s no syncretism or superstition among Protestants - except for the prosperity gospel, biblolatry, televangelists, etc.

“The Protestant work ethic got it’s name from somewhere. There was never anything called the *Catholic work ethic*.”

Yeah, it got its name from Max Weber - that’s not a good thing. You might want to look into that. And you apparently read as much as you travel:

Meanwhile their leaders are scientistic rationalist intellectuals who believe the Bible is a bunch of fairy tales and who push evolution as their number one dogma. And that's not even taking into account the ultra-intellectualism of Catholic theology.

Catholicism and Orthodoxy are two-tier religions: bumpkins governed by intellectuals. One thing Judaism and Protestantism have in common is that pretty much all members of each one--lay or cleric or theologian--pretty much all believe the same things.

You're so right. If people could see the paganism in Catholicism in third world countries, that the Catholic Church accepts, they would soon abandon Catholicism.

Do you really believe that Angola or Venezuela would become economic powerhouses if their Catholics just became Episcopals or Presbyterians? The quality of human capital matters a lot more to a nation's development than what religions the people believe or don't believe in.
