THose are wonderful quotes, Taz, I too was raised Catholic. The effects of Vatican II hit me about the time I went off to college in '66, and confronted with the questioning and rebellion that occurs in most young people finally away from home, and the feeling of alienation from the familiar aspects of my religion (and I, having a dramatic turn of mind, loved the ritual and the Latin and the mystery)I just -- left. ANd never went back. I resent what the Church did to me in terms of guilt and fear as a child. It was a terrible, controlling religion. I still fight the remnants of that way of thinking, because they're not far wrong when they say- Give us a child until he's 7, and we'll have him for life." When the concept of your own sinfulness is drilled into you every day, it IS a form of abuse.
