[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Personally, I feel justified in criticizing the church very harshly because I was born and raised catholic, went to catholic school k thru senior year in high school. The hypocrisy and misogyny are nauseating. Just (barely) more subtle than other much maligned religions I e Islam. [/quote]

ITA.  I was raised catholic and went to catholic school, and like for you it definitely was not a positive experience in my life.  If the numbers in the link are valid [url]http://pewresearch.org/databank/dailynumber/?NumberID=494[/url] then 10% of Americans are ex catholics.  A portion of those would be due to apathy and other factors, but if it's half or 1/3  of that 10% who left due to negative experiences, you still have a large number of people and some of them will air their grievances.

I'm sympathetic to this argument. It is understandable to me (a non-catholic) because your criticism is based on thought and experience.

OP's question is totally different though. We're talking about an innocuous thread on pinched-faced blond women and SUVs turning into yet another crude stereotyping of catholics and catholic school families. We're not talking about church doctrine or pedophelia here. It's like when bigots used to snigger about jews and money. Same difference. Ugh.[/quote]
