Plenty of Catholics in the parts of Germany that never revolted against the Church who have a hearty work ethic. Same with Austria. And Poland. My Catholic forebears are German, Polish and Irish. We didn’t absorb a “Protestant” work ethic.

As a Catholic, I'll agree with that. Unfortunately, too many of us are now shaped by the Protestant horror of childbearing and large families which is a major part of why this country is where it is right now.
The ideal would be a people shaped by the Protestant work ethic but who have the traditional Catholic zeal for marriage, children, and large families.
