So what do you guys think of European Catholicism in the mid 18th century?

Ehh, The power the Catholic church went through a major decline in the 16th when King Henry the VIII tried to have his marriage to Catherine of Aragon anulled. He then separated from the Catholic church (since Pope Clement VII would not grant the anullment) left Catherine and married Anne Boleyn, a year later that marriage was annuled and she was beheaded for high treason. During that year the Catholic Church excommunicated England and the rest is history.
