Catholicism worships a Triune God

That's correct, but not to the extent to which the Orthodox Christianity does. The Catholic mindset usually thinks of God the Father first when you say "God." It is God is Trinity, not Trinity is God order of thinking as with the Orthodox. The East also often uses the term Triune God instead of just God.

But, your correction is noted. Unfortunately half of Europe is Protestant, and certainly most of America. The western societies are goverend by Protestant rather than Catholic morality and weltanschau. It is a mix of paganism and Christian vocabulary as far as I am concerned.

Thank you

Protestanism is deeply flawed, deeply divided and terribly person dependent. I particularly despise the all-singing-all-dancing-shout-a-lot congregations that you find in the "mega-churches" which are so false, it disgusts one.
For Baptists I wonder, for Anglicans, MEthodists, Wesleyans, Calvinists, Lutherans etc., they mean well, but they don't have the roots and their arguments tend to be incredibly shallow. You're right about the collapse of Catholic morality in places like Spain (how dare those Spaniards forget the blood spilt by their ancestors) but thankfully there are still some places even in Europe like Portugal and Poland that hold firm.

And where did Russian Orthodox find refuge when Russia became atheistic? Many came to Protestant America which you seem to have such disdain for.
