And virtually every single predominantly Catholic country in this world is a third world hell hole.

Do you really believe that Angola or Venezuela would become economic powerhouses if their Catholics just became Episcopals or Presbyterians? The quality of human capital matters a lot more to a nation's development than what religions the people believe or don't believe in.

Once upon a time South Africa was a prosperous, peaceful nation. The religion of the country was Dutch Reformed, who were the continental cousins of the Presbyterians.
