Why has Catholic Europe been so overshadowed by Protestant Europe for the past 500 years?

Why has Catholic Europe been so overshadowed by Protestant Europe for the past 500 years?

better work ethics and better government. Also age of enlightenment kicked in earlier.

France and Spain were by far more dominant than Britain and Germany prior to the 19th century.

17th century protestant based philosophy ( Hobbes and Locke) directly influenced modern scientific thought

Racial, Economic, Intellectual and Cultural superiority.
Breaking from Rome is a manifestation of the aforementioned, not the cause.
Germanics BTFO Romeboos for the billionth time is all.

>That red
??
What is this a map of?

You can get a lot accomplished if you don't have to report directly to the Church.

Probably a map of countries ruled by Protestants in the 16th-17th century. The red looks like the Ottoman Empire at its height.

>tfw Protestants always swallow Catholics in all of my EU4 games
I think only Spain ever manages to stay Catholic lol.

Enforce religious unity senpai or else the Protestant League will murder you

Because protestants are much more hard working and white

Orthodox?

>France and Spain were by far more dominant than Britain and Germany prior to the 19th century.

Not to mention, the richest parts of Germany are Catholic.

They can help the fact that they were exposed to the true path

Stay strong and defiant, Catholic man. Without you... there is no Christian Church!

Catholic Hitler ensured that didnt he?

At the end, 2017, "protestant" countries are mainly atheist.
Their few believers are converting to Catholicism or Orthodoxy.

>Overshadowed.

Its admirable how you can attract retards so easily with a shit thread like this

>too smart for christianity
>somehow a bad thing

>Protestant ethics and capitalism
WE WUZZ' MAX WEBER AND SHITT !!!!
BS
North Europe : Peasants learning to read (YOU MUST READ THE BIBLE!) becoming low salary obedient workforce like nowaday China and slowly increasing wealth
South Europe : high illiteracy level until the 19th century and loving revolutions against their "masters" and yet still being in the G20

Looking at Sweden, seems like it is.

This map is horribly inaccurate.

>Rennaissance Italy, Spain, France
>overshadowed

Seems pretty accurate for turn of the 17th century
