My mother is not a Catholic, but she's always tried to drag my brother and my sister and I to church from a very young age, and we have always put up a little bit of a rebellion against it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When she was younger, my mother was quite committed to Roman Catholicism. But she got disillusioned with it and moved closer to something like Buddhist beliefs near the end of her life.
I grew up Catholic. My mother is from El Salvador, so my family on her side is Roman Catholic. My father is Protestant, and while he was spiritual, he wasn't much of a churchgoing person. I think it's fairly common for families to be brought up in the mother's religion.
I was raised by the Christian Brothers, who believe in that, fortunately. They were, to me, the most rebellious arm of the Catholic Church - and one of the most liberal and forward thinking.
I'm from a family with five kids in it, and my father almost became a Catholic priest. And my mother never went to church, but she's the best Christian I know. My siblings have all chosen different paths to or away from their spirituality.
I was raised Catholic until I was old enough to say no.
My mom's a Christian and she loves me; that whole side of my family is Christian and I have no problem with it.
Both my parents are Catholic and staunch believers. I'm not a Catholic now, but I still carry part of it with me.
My mother desperately wanted to give her kids a wholesome environment, and we were born into a traditional Catholic family.
I was raised Catholic, and I have an aversion to anyone who takes religion to the extreme.
My mother has an incredible rigidity, which is very Catholic.
