Ireland was largely Catholic. British people that came to Ireland after the Reformation and after Henry VIII established his own church, brought Protestantism, with them. As they were invaders, they were resisted by Irish people. The Irish also wanted to maintain Catholicism. Catholicism then became strongly linked with Irish nationalism and Protestantism with those who wanted a link with Britain.
Brazil, Italy, Ireland, Philippines, etc... Traditionally Central and South American countries are Catholic. Also a lot of African countries too (Although there are a lot of Muslims in Africa as well).
Spain was strongly opposed to the Protestant Reformation. King Philip II and the Spanish Inquisition worked to suppress any spread of Protestant ideas in their territories. They viewed the Reformation as a threat to their authority and saw it as heretical.

Although Greene objected strongly to being described as a Catholic novelist rather than as a novelist who happened to be Catholic, Catholic religious themes are at the root of much of his writing, especially the four major Catholic novels: Brighton Rock, The Heart of the Matter, The End of the Affair and The Power and the Glory....so...Brighton Rock. :)

The English Puritans believed that the English reformation had not gone far enough and that the Church of England was still tolerating too many practices that were associated with the Church of Rome (such as hierarchical leadership, clerical vestments and the various rituals of the church)
The Reformation was the religious revolution in the 16th century that resulted in the split of Western Christianity between Roman Catholics and Protestants. The reformation was lead by a German religious scholar named Martin Luther, , who believed strongly that all doctrine must be solidly based on Scripture (the Bible). Luther did not believe the Pope had authority and his teachings did not carry the same weight as the Bible. The printing press, credited to the German inventor and printer Johannes Gutenberg,in the 1450s, became the single most important factor in the success of the Protestant Reformation by providing the means for widespread dissemination of the “new teachings” and encouraging independent thought on subjects previously rigidly controlled by the Catholic who supported the use of the teachings of the Roman doctor Galen. This meant Galen’s ideas continued to be followed and believed. This helped to encourage doctors to pursue natural causes and treatments of disease. Questioning the ideas of Galen was not encouraged.(this would later be proved wrong by Andreas Vesalius and William Harvey).

The invention of the printing press, along with increasing literacy rates, were two significant factors that contributed to the success of the Protestant Reformation. The reformation was led in large part by Martin Luther.
