It's amazing how vivid our memories are of the things about Catholicism that were seriously weird when we were growing up. On the other hand, there were some graces. An obvious one: It probably added to our sensitivity to the symbolic.

I don't ever remember any fainting at mass and I was raised catholic also. Had a catholic mom. All I remember was that when I was sitting ignoring it all, all of a sudden everyone stood up and I had to also or get smacked in the back of the head. Then they would kneel until my knees ached. This interrupted by own thoughts which were elsewhere and was a nuisance. I remember when I went to confirmation I had to let the priest slap me on the cheek. I was under threat by my uncle that if I ducked he would more than slap me later. When the ceremony had been explained to me at the weekly indoctrination I had gone home and announced no priest was going to slap me.
