Being capital-C-Catholic is just about drinking red wine, have a natural tan, being nominally sexually repressed but very sexual at the same time, and keeping contact with your parents.

    I assure you that the otherwise extremely "big c Catholic" Italy and Spain are anything but sexually repressed

      Catholicism: Not allowed to fuck. Fucks

      Protestants: Allowed to fuck. Do not fuck.

        Jerry Falwell Jr would like to have a word.

        Also, Mormons.

          Evangelicals and Mormons stretch the utility of "Christian" as a descriptor well past it's breaking point.

            I mean, they're no more outlandish than the scores of Gnostic sects that sprang up in the movement's wake.

            Christianity has always been borderline Sci-Fi.

      Yes, indeed, latam too, it's a double-speak of being prudes while also being hypersexual. I don't know how to explain it, but basically what @Frank said.
