Why are Protestant countries so much wealthier than Catholic ones?

Why are Protestant countries so much wealthier than Catholic ones?

Is Protestantism connected to prosperity and quality of life?

Catholicism and Orthodox usually make Balkan-tier societies.

Only exception is Switzerland perhaps but it's easy to explain this exception.

Work ethic

What's with the Protestants in Hungary?

Austria and Belgium are wealthy though

But yes, there is definetely something to say for the protestant work ethic. Max Weber wrote a book about it

Why are Cathocucks so lazy?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Protestant_Ethic_and_the_Spirit_of_Capitalism

Slovenia was Protestant. We are the only country in the world that celebrates Reformation Day as a national holiday AFAIK!

But we were re-catholciized forcibly because we're near Italy so it was hard to resist the constant pressure from the Vatican

they worship mammon.

Those countries didn't get wrecked during World War 2 and didn't go through Marxism-Leninism

Usury.
Both catholics and orthodox hate it, but most protestants are ok with that.

Don't have to spend all their money to get a reduced sentence in purgatory.
Faith alone faggots.

It's about lazyness.
Lazy itself is a sin in catholicism.

The difference is that they dont think that God love rich people more than poors.

Work ethic is more a calvinist thing.

Anglicans are basically heritic-jewish catholics, lutherans aren't very different from catholics about work

Why are protestant countries more cucked than catholic ones?

>Germany didn't get wrecked during WW2
Lad...

Objectively false

>Why are Protestant countries so much wealthier than Catholic ones?
They aren't, but they like thinking they are.

they feel guilt for success

guilt is the psychological vulnerability of the western mind. it's quickly disappearing though.

It has changed throughout history.

Spain and Portugal were rich when Germany and Scandinavia weren't. Banks were created in Italy, and Italy, together with France, set cultural trends for a long time. Germany, at least until Prussia emerged as a power, was in decline.

Now, protestant countries are gradually weakening and degenerating. So, who knows, in a few decades, someone might ask: "Why are Catholics wealthier than Protestants?"

Also, let's not forget that Protestants are responsible for:

>Dividing the Western World and encouraging centuries of bloodshed against fellow Christians, distracting Christendom from its true enemies of militant atheism and Islam, instead of trying to reform the Church
>Bombing abortion clinics and trying to hang gays
>Witch burnings
>Editing the Bible at will due to their feelings to justify any of their actions
>Demonising the Inquisition through the use of propaganda
>The concept of Faith Alone, leading to cold, heartless, and degenerate societies who place no value on good works
>The concept of predestination, whereby none of your good acts on Earth matter if you don’t believe in their particular version of "Jaysus" and go to hell
>Keeping the American South a backwards shithole for more than two centuries in stark contrast to the much more developed and wealthy Catholic regions
>Contributing less to charity than Catholics and even some atheists, now and in the past
>Prohibition
>Creationism
>Rapture
>Megachurches
>Worse than Catholics, Jews, and Muslims when it comes to sexually abusing children
>Faith healing
>The anti-vaccination movement
etc.

I can't speak for Europe, but in the US Catholics are much, much more cucked.

Protestants vote republican at a rate of about 70%, Catholics vote democrat at about 55% usually, and in this election it's even worse.

Because Protestants have always been more "progressive".

Republicanism
Libertarianism
Secularism
Free Trade
Science

All borne from Protestant values.

This was all well and good up until the 1960s then they went to far and are now "cucked", as they say

The wealthiest regions in Germany are all catholic (southern Germany), while the the protestant north and especially the east are poorer.

protestants adopted one thing from the Jews that Catholics never embraced-- full on capitalism. I'm no communist, but capitalism (full on, without any social constraints) is basically usury, something antithetical to civilization in the long run.

The worst countries in Europe are Protestant.

Hm really makes you think.

This. Take a wild guess why that's the case.

>Weber representing
>mfw I have it on my bookshelf

It's a good read, if you're not some uneducated American who screams REEE at sociologists :DDD

lmao bavaria is catholic and is the richest place in Germany and east germany is fully protestant and the poorest region

Prussia and northern germany were much richer before ww1

wow, ur entire country + parts of turkey fits on a flag, nice

as much as you liking the pakis on your island

Why is Zimbabwe so rich? How can you explain it?

Nordic countries are by far more atheists than christians, the ones that are christian are pretty much liberal cucks, just look at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eva_Brunne

>Says Luigi, as he walks past a 60 year old man legally masturbating in public

Merchants didn't want to obey the priests so they made their own religion, now they make their own rules and can pretend they're good people.

Protestant = strong worth ethic in business

Catholics = backscratching and bribery in business

They're all billionaires.

this is the real answer right here

>t. monkey butthurt that Catholic Poland has none of the social degeneracy Russia has

I'd wager it has to do with the emphasis protestant countries put on education, since the goal was to have everyone be able to read the bible. It's important to have a population capable of drawing from and adding to the collective knowledge of a society, and the growth of knowledge quickly became exponential. It's only been 20 generations since 1517, that "head start" protestant countries had is still clearly visible today.

Those countries are atheist, not protestant. More people there are probably muslim than any kind of genuine christian.

Dude theyre all Trillionaires. Dont talk shit man rats are a delicacy

It has nothing to do with protestantism itself.

It's because all the nations you're showing are GERMANIC peoples.

If anything, protestantism came about as a manifestation of their germanic sensibilities, rather than the other way around.

But South and West are the rich parts of germany

Good post. Never heard that perspective before

But that's wrong
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_regions_by_past_GDP_(PPP)

>east germany
>latvia
>wealthy

baviaria is still richer than north west germany and austria is richer than germany

because when your a protestant, religion is a meme, and doesn't get in the way of true morals

The whole republican x democrat thing is oure cuckoldism.

Its just a fight to show who sucks more israeli cock than other

They've sold out to Satan. They paying up for it today. They bought into materialism and consumerism, now you can see that if a protestant country is already atheist/neopagan, from out shitty their dogmas are, instead they are cucked beyond belief or supreme servants of Israel (USA)
That too, protestants were quick to embrace the evils of the Jew.
This. Catholicism is more oriented towards Aristocratic Monarchism. But you're wrong on the Science aspect, Protestants have almost been on the more knee jerky reactionary side with bullshit beliefs
>see America


Okay, so the stereotypes with Catholics vs. Protestants are
>Protestant
>hard working
>capitalist
>anal
>cucked
>atheism rampant

>catholics
>relaxed
>cheerful
>ritualistic, spiritual
>pro welfare
>lazy
>cucked only in proddy countries
>corruption rampant

Where do orthodox fit in this? Do they just take the worst of both worlds?
>orthodox
>irrelevant
>strict
>anal
>communism
>lazy
>corruption rampant

seems like it.

cuz protestant countries have not had a chance to get their Islam medicine yet.
And they were not communist.

worry not. Norway was one of the purest countries after ww2. now its one of the richest. just wait 40 years and you will see what racial war does to country. Yugoslavia 2.0 inc

That's a bit more complicated because of communism, but Prussia used to be the wealthiest region in Germany, and Estonia and Latvia were the wealthiest regions of the Russian Empire and USSR, and these regions are also the success stories of the post-communist world, compared to historically Orthodox countries which still have big problems with corruption and sluggish growth.

Roma

Prussia was poor compared to the rest of German states. They just had a strong army and good buerocracy.

Greenland? Jesus I found one

Königgrätz was the biggest singular mistake in german history.

Hungarians are descended from finngolians

Sorry, but that book was debunked hundreds of times already. Capitalism started in Italy for starters, with the creation of banks.

Also, how do you explain the fact that Latvia and Estonia (two protestant countries) aren't significantly richer than the rest of their post-commie peers after 25 years of freedom? If the theses presented by Weber held any water, we should have started to see a difference by now. Meanwhile Estonia is about on par with Czech/Poland while Latvia is one of the poorest countries in EU, beaten out even by their southern Catholic neighbour, Lithuaina.

But Bavarians, Flems, and Swiss are rich

>Only exception is Switzerland perhaps

offcourse it is - prots won the war in Switzerland and Calvin ruled for some time

>Slovenia was Protestant. We are the only country in the world that celebrates Reformation Day

some SA country has that day, I think its columbia or smth

This.

France expelling it's protestants was one of it's greatest mistakes...

>But we were re-catholciized forcibly because we're near Italy so it was hard to resist the constant pressure from the Vatican
Might makes right

>France expelling it's protestants was one of it's greatest mistakes...

Hugenout massacre was bizzare, but why do you think it was unporfitable for France to expell them?

actually France and Spain are pretty cucked - france has highest muslim pop and spain is a degenerate country without muslims

>unironically being catholic

Anyone else Episcopalian masterrace? We're the real jews by the way.

>tfw Nige ancestors were French protestants who fled to Britain

based hugenout

Actually protestant nations are more cucked than catholic. They are insane multicultural. Why is it so?

no war/smaller effects of the war
earlier industrialization
access to the atlantic
in case of germany, american aids
in case of britain, isolation form the rest of the continent
in case of britain, denmark, holland, germany - colonization

Well the northern parts of Croatia used to be protestant as well.

>in case of germany, american aids
kek

actual prussia was a backwater shithole
brandenburg was the real heart of the prussian kingdom, they only called themselves that to have a connection to the crusader states and muh heritage

...

indeed. that is why there are so many people from zagorje, varaždin etc who are quite skilled with the tools tj. "vole majstorijat" while very catholic dalmatia is more about fiestadelanoce and art

The Prussian state moving west through historic treaties helped them a lot.
You can have your Hugenotten back

...

Corruption.

I live in MA and the politics here is 3rd world shit-tier thanks to the Oirish-Americans and the people with names ending in vowels.

Catholics are albino niggers.

Im Boston Paulie Im a beat your ass dont me with me Im Irish we are hard

>Why are Protestant countries so much wealthier than Catholic ones?
Allowed (((usury))

MA is the best of the large American states so you should be aiming for more.

Portugal, Spain, France, italian states were very wealthy compared to the rest of Europe in 16, 17 century

Bavaria is also much wealthier compared to Northern Germany.

...

>MA
>Large
>Best
MA is garbage
We only acknowledge their existence on game day

the bantz are real

How can Catholics support evolution?

Old testament states exactly how God made the Earth and all living creatures but they just go against that now because of overwhelming evidence?

protestant masterrace.
how can catholicucks even compete?
>unironically worshippingthe most corrupt church in history with a virgin cuck as it's leader
the KKK was right on catholics

Determinism. Half my family are mexican catholics. All though they are all hard workers in life and their profession. They never go out and seek higher opportunity. They dont ask for bonuses, faises, promotions, or new employment. They believe all thay stuff will just be given to them if God wills it. Otherwise it's out of their control, protestants dont believe that.

>How can Catholics support evolution?

intellectual dishonesty. that is the answer, you have to really do the PR to connect the Genesis and evolution

estonia is supposed to be atheist desu

Protestants were often hard working and wealthy. They fled to Switzerland, England, the Netherlands - then to South Africa, Berlin, etc. All these countries benefited from it.

>unironically not beeing catholic

Because we are continuations of thought of the apostles and their disciples and their disciples et cetera.
Plus we know that even tho reason cannot
reveals all of Truth, it surlly can get the right idea.

Obligatory
