No, unfortunately for Poland it is filled with Polish people.

>Germany
>Catholic
Goyim...

ALLAHU ACKBAR
ALLAHU ACKBAR
ALLAHU ACKBAR

That is all.

>America: protestant
>UK: protestant
>Germany: no Catholic majority

Contrast this with
>Poland: Catholic
>Brazil: Catholic
>Mexico: Catholic

Spot the pattern.

Bavaria, Germany's (and Europe's) richest region is predominantly Catholic lel

Ever hear of Austria?

>Wanting Poland to become a Muslim colony like Germany

The question is: would Austria be even more successful if they had a Protestant majority?

I think so. Austria could be the USA of Europe.

Germany is majority catholic you dumb kraut, therefore a catholic country :^)

That is hardly a clear majority.

Do you have any proof of this, or do you honestly believe correlation = causation?

America: full of redneck baptist cousin fuckers
UK: cucked by Muslims
Germany: cucked by Muslims

Poland: destroy Muslim property
Brazil: no Muslims
Mexico: no Muslims

See a pattern?

Must be why Bavaria is so poor and backward compared to eastern germany, where catolicism in nonexistent.

Still you claimed here that germany is not a catholic majority, which is very clearly is.

You can't thank east germany for this

I'm putting the question out there so we can rationally discuss this like adults.

It's a majority of Christians not of the total population you statistical illiterate

***can

And I was right.

>pick 1 random X country and 1 random Y country
>This proves X > Y !!!

But yes, you could also have put more effort into your post (and less reaction faces), and brought up statistics that a LOT of reformed countries are more successful than average.

It still is the majority, what back of that don't you understand gypso?

Plenty of Muslim, Protestant, pagan countries that are garbage.

Excuse me, but all your Wiki (lol) screencap proved is that the majority of Germans is non-Catholic.

>Germany is majority catholic

Majority = over half

You state there is no catholic majority, which is very much is among Christians. It is the dominant faith, unless you count non-religious as a faith

you never said majority of what, you didn't state faith or entire population

... And the screencap says, very exactly: "Christianity is the largest religion in Germany with an estimated 59.4% of the country's population"

How is 59.4% not a majority, smartasses?

>You state there is no catholic majority

If 30% of a population is Catholic, that means that 70% of said population is non-Catholic.

Are you under the impression that 30 > 70?

well catholic countries will at least retain their culture, meanwhile Germans will almost cease to exist. Look how butthurt is your press because of that

deutschlandfunk.de/polen-wie-geschichte-umgedeutet-wird.1310.de.html?dram:article_id=371822

I'm comparing religious denominations, not religiosity itself.

Do try to keep up, my French brother.

What part of catholicism is the largest faith in germany do you not understand dumbass

I don't understand what they're on about when the facts are clearly shown, I belive this is just damage control

I think you should be more proud of your past, Polish brother.

>What part of catholicism is the largest faith in germany do you not understand dumbass

We speak English here.

I'd rather be poor than cucked

REMINDER: Protestantism gave the world both communism and liberalism.

>I'd rather be poor than cucked

I think you have made the right choice.

>Graph stops at 2015
Nice try, Mohammed.

How is this not english? You're obviously full damage controlling and its very obnoxious, you make me ashamed to be from your country. I'm not even an american, from the pfalz and here for uni

>How is this not english?

I couldn't parse it, therefore it must not be English.

Pretty straightforward, actually.

I don't think the figures for Poland's stagnation have been published yet.

Nearly 30% country is half catholic you fuckwit.

>30% country is half catholic

So only 15% are fully Catholic?

>Is Catholicism holding countries back from achieving 1st world status?
No, but 50 years of communist rule in Poland after two wars that rekt the country does.

Really should read the Great Heresies, user.

Hilaire Belloc went over this ages ago.

The Church was opposed to Usury due to it being referenced several times as a sinful practice in The Bible and in Church Tradition, Protestantism, by contrast, made each man his own "master" as it were and let loose the once-subdued spirit of competition which manifested itself in Industrial Capitalism, allowing it to achieve greater Economic Prosperity in spite of its limited resources and landmass.

To quote Belloc:

>Protestantism had produced free competition permitting usury and destroying the old safeguards of the small man's property--the guild and village association.
>In most places where it was powerful (and especially in England) Protestantism had destroyed the peasantry altogether. It had produced modern industrialism in its capitalistic form; it had produced modern banking, which at last became the master of the community; but not much more than a lifetime's experience of industrial capitalism and of the banker's usurious power was enough to show that neither the one nor the other could continue. They had bred vast social evils which went from bad to worse, until men, without consciously appreciating the ultimate cause of those evils (which cause is, of course, spiritual and religious) at any rate found the evils unendurable.

But those wars rekt Germany too.

I think we were able to recover so quickly because we didn't have a Catholic majority holding us back.

>Really should read the Great Heresies, user.

Thank you, I have added your recommendation to my "What to read next" list.

That's the difference between post-war recovery on the right and on the wrong side of the Iron Curtain.

Besides, as rekt as it might have gotten, Germany was still one of the major powers in Europe. The 20th century Poland was a humble country squeezed between Germany and Soviet union, with their armies marching back and forth over her land. You really can't compare the two situations.

>Poland was a humble country squeezed between Germany and Soviet union

Would you say it's correct to classify Poland as "the butter in a Nazi/Soviet rape sandwich"?

Basically yes.

I agree, no one should ever refer to Poland as the butter in a Nazi/Soviet rape sandwich, and the non-Catholic in me thinks we should seriously start considering paying them war reparations.

Not sure what point you're trying to make here Hans.

Well, you basically proved that it's not Catholicism that's holding them back but the fact that they were turned into the butter in a Nazi/Soviet rape sandwich that has ruined their country for good.

How is it not Germany's fault then, and why should we not be made to pay reparations?

Ok, so you agree with me then? Cool.

I do, what does that surprise you so much?

It just doesn't happen very often on Sup Forums, is all.

I came here to have a rational discussion and I am grateful that you obliged. I am no convinced Catholicism isn't he only thing that's holding Poland and other Catholic nations back.

what proddies don't want to tell you is that it was simply secularism that made these countries great. It has nothing to do with protestantism at all

Protestantism is like ISIS

just look at Calvin's geneva

Protestantism is anti science

Deal with it

leave poland ALONE?!?!

>many centuries of catholic tradition keeping west together
vs
>about 30 years of degeneracy

I know which one is correct

>Spain: Catholic
>Portugal: Catholic
>France: Catholic
>Austria: Catholic

You hear that? You're a HERETIC

Fair enough. I do think the subject is much broader and deeper and Catholicism can be a mixed blessing depending on the overall national attitude, but in general it's a positive thing.

...

>Spain: Catholic
>Portugal: Catholic
>France: Catholic

None of which come even CLOSE to the economic and scientific hegemony of Germany, UK and USA.

Thanks for proving my point.
>Austria: Catholic

>BW: Catholic
>BY: Catholic

seems like the rich and prosperous parts of germany are all catholic

>Spain: Atheist
>Portugal: Catholic
>France: Atheist
>Austria: Atheist


Fix'd

BW is Protestant. Bavaria is just a statistical outlier that probably would perform MUCH higher if they weren't dragged down by the burden of Catholicism.

Now chart the average amount of muslim cum that german women and polish women ingest.

I just read in wikipedia that BW is 60% catholic and 33% proddie

south germany best germany, lad

Sure it is, let's abandon it and pursue something like, ohhh idk multiculturalism with a sprinkle of islam?
What's that? Germany is already on the case?
Well, well, good luck and don't forget to show off your GDP balance sheets in 2025 when your country declares itself an islamic state under the sharia law.

Ha Ha Ha.

>dumb PRODDIE logic

You would give more credence to Wikipedia than to your German brother?

People like you are why Europe is falling apart :(

>You would give more credence to Wikipedia than to your German brother?
in fact, my father is from Stuttgart, he is catholic and he says most people from there are catholic too (or at least were when he lived there) I haven't visited since I was a kid and I don't know if it got enriched

Germans are stupid cucks

>Is Catholicism holding countries back from achieving 1st world status?
no

look at the history of the countries the pic compares and then talk about this you uneducated bastard

a lot of people on pol do this
first learn something about it
dont ask pol to be your teacher

Yes, Catholicism holds countries back for several reasons. One, the priests turn the kids into little homos and atheists. Two, the priests make the wife confess to him, ruining the family. Three, the priests push socialistic nonsense and interfere in the government. Four, the criminals pay bribes to the priests to get sins forgiven. Five, the priests like stupid superstitious population. Six, education is teaching authority and facts, not reasoning and science. Seven, Virigin Woman cult creates cucked fanatics: a feminine religion based on feelings more than logic. Eight, forgiveness of criminals by govt is considered a good deed. Nine, government undermined by foreign priests loyal to Rome. Ten, in protestant culture personal responsibility and logic is paramount; in Catholic countries the group and social feelings are more important.

But Protestant countries have become "catholic" simply by having women in charge - same result.

Catholicism is funded by Soros.

I assumed slavic countries were mostly orthodox.

I believe Poland and Croatia (I hope I spelled that correctly) are both Catholic.
