You make an important point.  The history of a country matters in how the official Church is received.  And current (last 50 years?) affect how the hierarchy is perceived and how much power and influence they can wield in the society.  Ireland and Australia are the recent messes.  Canada seems rather stable.

God doesn't "fit" in any package.  Maybe that worked when most of the world was ruled by kings and European power predominated just about everywhere.  Not true any more.

That is one of the reasons the universal Catholic "package" is just not working everywhere.  It is not just tenets of faith, although that is part of it.  It is also an autocratic governance structure in a world that is more and more educated, more democratic, with wide spread sources of virtually instant information.  I think if the Church wants people to participate more in the faith, then they have to be given some voice in what is done and some share of the power and responsibility.
