"On the other hand, Catholicism doesn't suite viking/north germanic approaches to life and
Why do you say that?"
There's no other "why" to it than what I, personally, honestly and sincerely believe to be the truth.
People in France, Italy, Greece and Spain simply nurture a different culture.
These people are pretty well off and we Scandinavians all
admire them for being well organized as well as inheritors of some of the finest achievements of Mankind.
We Vikings enjoy being in close cooperation with Southeners, but we DO have a different approach to life. We realize that when you live in a cold climate, you have to work harder.
Working hard is a very, very rewarding thing. Combined with intellectual training, this effort can develop into a person who is able to safeguard civilization.
This insights has made my neighbors, my friends and my family rich in several aspects of the word and furthermore it has taught us to respect KNOWLEDGE - and wherever I have went in this world, I have never felt ashamed of being of viking ancestry.
