Poll--Were you raised Catholic?

Go to CruxDreams.com
I think Stephen Fry said it best;

 
RacingRodent,
I agree with what you are saying.
I should not have made such a blanket statement like that. I am just mad that the church did not do a very good job, in a lot of places , to protect the children.
I hope I did not offend you.

I'm sure the centrality of the Crucifixion in the Christian story
(along with the supporting cast of virgin martyrs ;))
has had an enormous influence on each of us here, whether Catholic or not,
though the strongly visual, tactile, borderline erotic presentation of the story
in Catholic (and other 'high') churches must have made
an especially powerful impact on our young minds
who were exposed to it.

Clout,
I don't think so, and if there were no Catholic church there would be a lot less abused children in the world

But I don't see any obvious or necessary connection between the cult of the Cross
and the abuse - I don't think you mean to imply that?

PS I posted that before seeing your response to RR, Hondoboot -
you've answered my query, and I can't see why anyone should take offence.
 
Eulalia,
No I am not, I was just answering clout's question. He asked: would there be any cross fetish without the Catholic Church? I said likely there would not .

I then stated, completely separate from the cross question, that there would be a lot less abused children if it were not for the Catholic Church's scandal. I should not have said that. It was not associated with Clout's question.
I was just trying to say that because of the child abuse scandal, I was no longer a Catholic .I am sorry if I offended any Catholics.

I can understand the anger, it is easier for me because I was never a Catholic so no guilt by 'tribal' association and thus easier to be objective. It is easy to make blanket statements without meaning to too, I am no more innocent of that than you on occasions.
 
Well, I'm not Catholic, neither Christian. Partly because it was not custom when I was born in the communist period, partly repelling me the bloody past of Christianity (mainly Catholic Church), and generally the monotheist religions (unfortunately in the present too).
I don't know, that I'm atheist or religious in my own way, but I think, not the religiousness important, but our good deeds.
I hope, I'm not hurt nobody's feelings with my words.

I agree... "By your works you shall be known." (from the ancient Greeks)

I was raised a Catholic, now as I look back that church practiced child abuse. And the stuff you hear lately... Wow!

but why so few public? perhaps there wasn't a good looking virgin shceduled that day?
 
a pity it's a rather small image, perhaps someone can enlarge it?
It seems to be the end of the show, the lions are being driven back to their cages
(a leggy virgin is lying bleeding in the lower left corner,
I can't believe the lions would have been stopped from eating her!)
Most of the audience - the men at least - will have hurried away
to discharge their excitement into the whores lined up in the exit tunnels,
an afternoon of lion-feeding was good for their trade!

A more full collection of his works can be found at jeanleongerome.org that particular pic I think is on page 5, if you want them without watermarks they are easy enough to find once you have the full title ;)

I

I was raised Catholic in the 60s. There was a somewhat pornographic tinge to the Suffering of the Martyrs. The tale that got my pre-pubescent hard on going was the martyrdom of St. Agnes. She was stripped naked and clapped in prison for her faith, at the age of 12. She was remanded to a brothel, but all the horny young Romans who tried to fuck her were struck blind. You'd think the authorities would take the hint and let her go, but no, they finally got around to cutting off her head.
 
I'd call my upbringing semi-Catholic. My father was not a religious or spiritual man, but my mother insisted I attend Catholic school. Thankfully, the only Catholic school in our area only went through middle school.
