I suspect that the reason I got out of the Catholic thing so easily was that my mother insisted on driving an hour each way to hear the mass said in Latin. This had three results: first, I grew to loathe the entire affair, since it took up the entire Sunday morning, second, I avoided most of the liturgy, since my parents refused to translate and I couldn't understand a word of it, and third, I became acquainted with the tools of rational discourse, since the two hours of driving were invariably occupied by arguments over the necessity of attending mass. Could have come off worse, I suppose, but the loss of Sunday morning was a pretty grim prospect. I hated school almost as much as I hated church, and the theft of one fourth of my weekend seemed a pretty grave issue at the time. I think it probably still would.

>>they question everything << They better damn well, Penni -- I let Katie read what you said about her room! You are live meat, which is much worse than being deceased - just ask Arnold Schwartzenegger!

Penny said "....she told me that Catholic girls were worse than Jewish men when it came to guilt.." Guys do you know any Calvinists from South Africa? We are definitely the worst.. We still feel guilty when questioning the laws and dogma made by our GREATTTTT GREAAATTTT Grandfathers..As a matter of fact.. I am 47 years old and I am still not sure that my Grandfather actually had a penis..Let alone screwed grandma.. They were flawless and we had to respect them.. To question was to disobey and then came all that wonderful guilt.. As a matter of fact I feel guilty even as I type... How could I talk about the fact that Grandpa and grandma.. Shit!! I need a shrink.. he he he.. Have nice day Lucas - standing on a street corner wishing he was a Catholic so he could at least go confess...
