It's easier for a smaller country to improve economically.

Ireland, the Baltics, etc.

Catholic Austria has a higher GDP per capita than mixed Germany, Catholic Lithuania higher than Protestant Latvia, Catholic Ireland higher than Protestant UK, etc.

That doesn't mean Catholicism makes them successful, of course. It just means they're right.
