Many US Catholics who have never been to third world countries don't realize how steeped in paganism Catholicism is in these parts of the world. There have been a number of articles posted here about the inclusion of Hinduism, Buddhism, or other such religions included in the Mass in these countries. I have been to a number of these countries and talked to several priest who dismiss satanic symbols in their churches such as pentagrams and zodiacs symbols. Idolatry abounds. But these articles are ignored.

Catholics are not mostly conservative. If anything they're mostly pagan. That being said, there are a lot of prosperity gospel Protestant churches in these places as well. But the difference between Protestants and Catholics is that Protestants generally act upon false teachings when they see it. Catholics just shrug their shoulders because it's all part of the Church.

Revelation 22:11-12

11 Let the unrighteous continue to be unrighteous, and the vile continue to be vile; let the righteous continue to practice righteousness, and the holy continue to be holy.”
12 “Behold, I am coming soon, and My reward is with Me, to give to each one according to what he has done
