Access to the mechanical tools does you no good if you are not educated in their use, or if there is a sufficiently strong social stigma attached to obtaining them.

Perhaps, but the variation in that data can be measured by looking at places where we might think Catholic influence is preventing such education and social acceptance from occurring and seeing if it's any different from places where we don't expect Catholic influence to be strong. Offhand, I can't think of where we'd find what you suggest to be occurring, though. Catholic countries seem, well, like much more sexually relaxed places, typically, than non-Catholic areas. And this likely goes back centuries.
