“The “Catholic” approach has extremely high moral standards but enforces them loosely.

The “Protestant” approach has moderate moral standards, but enforces them strictly.”

IMHO: Protestant ethics are concerned with the actions and results needed to produce good works, catholic ethics are concerned with symbols and beliefs in order to create internal purity. Thats why all the entrepreneurs are protestant, and so many philosophers are catholic.

Small things in large numbers have vast consequences.
