[quote=Anonymous]Raised Catholic. I went to church every week and Catholic education classes. I felt early on that a lot of it was for show. Like...noticing contradictions in the beliefs of my parents and others in my family where they'd believe/follow parts of Catholicism, but not others. Does that still make us Catholic? Or are we something else entirely, I wondered. Parents still very strongly insisted that we were Catholic. As I grew older, I could really see the heavy weight of Catholic guilt on my parents. It felt like they were going through the motions because it's what they "should do" and it was tradition and what their parents would've wanted them to do. Not doing it would fail their ancestors in some way. As I learned more about Catholicism and history, it just felt like a giant religion machine. Scales tipped for me when I visited Vatican City and saw the opulence and grandeur. I had never felt less Catholic and I let it all go. [/quote]
