I grew up as a Catholic, and there was so much that was beautiful there, and also so much that was troubling. The whole patriarchal thing, the whole male-dominated approach, really bothered me.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I grew up Catholic, so I have these defenses about listening to anything with too much religiosity; some of the lyrics didn't sit well in my mouth. One of my beefs is the patriarchal setup. Having the 'he, he, he, God, God, God, king, king, king' stuff was hard for me.
I was raised as a Catholic, but I didn't like the Catholic Church at all. I thought the nuns were mean.
I've always had very catholic tastes.
The Catholic Church has never really come to terms with women. What I object to is being treated either as Madonnas or Mary Magdalenes.
There were theoretical elements in the subjection of women and it is not possible to avoid the conclusion that a large contribution was made to them by the Church. In part this was a matter of its hostile stance towards sexuality.
The artistic taste of the Catholic priests is appalling and I am most anxious to have a Catholic church in which everything is genuine and good, and not tawdry and ostentatious.
I was brought up Catholic and know the stench of the Catholic Church. I moved away from religion early, but the impression remains.
The Catholic men are more upset about women not being able to be priests than are Catholic women.
Although the church has often been far too slow to follow his lead, Jesus' insistence that women, as well as men, bear the full image of God has had a way of sparking reform movements across the centuries.
I wasn't raised Catholic; I just really like the image of a neutral and benign Mary floating around somewhere, being nice to people.
