[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting.  I have never met a Catholic I didn't like.   8)  There are TONS of problems with the church, doctrine, and leadership, but the Catholics I've met are very down-to-earth.   Well, except for one family that seemed almost fundamentalist-conservative, wearing Amish-like clothing.  Still, they were nice.  [/quote]

That's been my experience as well.  I come from an Irish-Italian-New England-Catholic family and they are fun-loving, good-hearted, party people.  They are the exact opposite of what I see described which seems to be the "Southern' version/opinion of Catholics.  The Jesuit branch is scholarly and intellectual..and much more liberal.  We had no problems getting married in a DC Catholic church with a spouse that hadn't been baptized anything.  There is a lot of stress of acceptance, helping the poor/disadvantaged and community.  Just about all of the Catholic women I know use BC...that's my circle, btw.[/quote]

+1. I have experienced same thing.  My Catholic friends are some of the most progressive and liberal...most are also Irish.[/quote]
