LOL, Alex Murphy! You sure scour the world for ways to discredit the Catholic Church!
Making a generalization of the entire world’s Catholic v Protestantism based on a comparison of Swiss cantons?
Try checking out an election map of Germany! You’ll notice the Catholic areas vote for the Christian Democrats consistently, and the Protestant areas consistently vote for the Socialists. And I really don’t think you want to make the argument that Swiss economic policy is guided by Christianity.
You can go back and forth on this forever: Ooh, look! For instance: Mexico is filled with Socialists! Yes, but that’s after a Protestant-funded anti-clerical regime killed tens of thousands of Catholic nuns, priests and catechists, setting up a socialist dictatorship for 80+ years.
Theology by ad-hominem is stupid, but it seems to be the passion that consumes your entire life.
There are almost no Protestants in Germany. We had a German exchange student live with us for a year in New Mexico. He said our tiny town had more churches in a 2 block radius than his home city.
“With 25,100,727 members in 2006, around 30 percent of all Germans belong to a member church of the EKD. Average church attendance is lower, however, with only around a million people attending a service on Sunday.”
IOW, 4% of the nominal Protestants in Germany attend church regularly.
