And what about the UK, Sweden, Norway, Switzerland, the Netherlands [Dutch], Germany [other than Bavaria, which is still very strongly Catholic] etc which are all countries with majority Protestants and are worse off in terms of Church attendance that most of the Catholic Countries in Europe [save France and Spain which are trending like the Protestant countries].
These other countries you mention have historically been pagan countries . They also pretty much chased Protestants out. Even though they still have some Protestants these churches are controlled by the government such as in England.(btw it was Protestants leaving all these countries because of religious persecution that founded this country and gave us the freedoms we are no losing today)
Did you know that in Germany under Hitler one of the first things he did was gather up all the Protestant Pastors and shoot the ones who would not go along with him because they actually preached God’s WORD ? Did you know that he spent years re-educating the youth into paganism ?
Did you know that Hitler himself was educated by Jesuits ... that’s right his education came from a ROMAN CATHOLIC background along with many of his closest conspirators.
(please do not have a cow and think that I am saying he was a practicing Roman Catholic because I am not saying that and there were many Catholics and Protestants that knew he was doing wrong and were killed because of either speaking against it or working against it )
BTW the reason I chose to point out only Spain and France was since the topic on this thread mentioned American Catholics being influenced by Protestants and these two countries are basically pure Roman Catholic
But if you want more examples look at Cuba - pretty much almost entirely Roman Catholic and now in slavery , Haiti - a former French territory where the Roman Catholic church has been pretty much in control , Mexico - Roman Catholic control .... the rest of South America - pretty much under Roman Catholic control too etc etc etc
