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 was raised Catholic and I spent a full decade undoing the mental and emotional damage it did to me. The fact that even one person would willingly convert to catholicism as an adult is hilarious to me

      Not me but parents, I just got second-hand catholic guilt and other fun neuroses as an inheritance.

      Since I knew very little about Christianity (much less Catholicism) growing up i didnt even know that's what it was until a buddy described his struggle with shedding all the ways Catholicism fucks you up. Good news is we were already drinking and griping, which seems to be the main way you're supposed to deal with all that

      Adult converts are absolute freaks (derogatory)
