Well, I am not sure that Catholic / Protestant countries are you talking about, Ireland and England, but come to mind. Ireland was the home of the Celts, who were pagan, but converted to Catholicism, because I thought that was a bad idea to make an enemy of God. Therefore, the pagan rituals still exist, and those were the same rituals of the women were being burned at the stake for.
There are probably other reasons too, but that's what you think!
I did not know this was true, but the Catholics were living next to the pagan religions and even has long included many of their traditions, there is very little difference between witchcraft and Catholicism from what I saw.
