Most of the Euro catholics I've met have been mirroring the protestants and become more and more alienated in society, as well as from the Catholic Church. Only exception is in Poland, where the Church has an absolutely massive social impact, at least in part because the church is perceived as one of the main resisters from the Socialist era. I don't really know whether this is absolutely true or a massive oversimplyfication, but it's the only thing i've been told by the Polish people who move here.
