Rapid growth
We have this in the article: "The rapid growth of its economy in recent years has facilitated the decline of the Catholic Church's influence in the country." I'd love it to be true - but logically, is it? Might there be other causes? Internationalization of the culture? Increased sophistication? Improved education? --Bob_M (talk) 12:46, 4 July 2007 (CDT)
 * The fact that the catholics and Protestants aren't blowing each other up every five minutes migth help, too. --Gulik 12:47, 4 July 2007 (CDT)

Education
I am Irish and I am a secondary school teacher (high school for those you who don't speak real english). I am not religious and I believe the religious domination of schooling is a problem, yet I would argue strongly against the existence of supposed "indoctrination". This befits an essay rather than an article. If anyone wants to start the essay i'll gladly lend my help. I'm going to remove the passage for now. ДιЯɖі$ɧ   ɥοםЄʟ βЯƏакĐΩωΝ  06:04, 5 July 2007 (CDT)
