"...but then I'm not Catholic." It does awaken one to the richness of ritual. As for guilt, I've always sworn that Irish Catholic mothers taught Jewish mothers about inducing guilt. Associating guilt with fun: Remember the old definition of a puritan as someone who haunted by the thought that somewhere someone is having fun? As for expiation, well, there is that site....

Catholics feel guilty because they examine their consciences, at least occasionally. Protestants don't seem to bother with either, at least not the ones like our hit-and-run guy earlier. I don't know any of them personally, but my father dated a woman from that religion, a Southern Baptist, who was perfectly willing to engage in extramarital sex (well, they were both divorced) despite the fact that she professed to be devout. She explained to him that she had been saved, and was going to heaven, so it didn't matter what she did. He didn't marry her, thank goodness. I don't know if Mr. Hit-and-run thinks it doesn't matter what he does because he is saved and is going to heaven, but he acts like it.
