I spent my entire Irish Catholic youth in a constant state of guilt over imaginary sins. I learned that nothing is a sin as long as you don't take pleasure from it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I was brought up a Catholic, so I take no pleasure in guilt.
I'm an Irish Catholic and I have a long iceberg of guilt.
I grew up Catholic, so I feel guilty about everything.
I have come to the conclusion that none of us in our generation feels as guilty about sin as we should or as our forefathers did.
I was raised Catholic, and I can get incredibly guilty about mistakes.
I don't think you can be a Catholic without an accompanying measure of guilt.
Being raised Catholic myself, I think people who are Catholic tend to carry a lot of guilt. It's almost a joke.
And the only thing to do with a sin is to confess, do penance and then, after some kind of decent interval, ask for forgiveness.
I was told I had an overabundance of original sin.
I suffer from Irish-Catholic guilt. Guilt is a good reality check. It keeps that 'do what makes you happy' thing in check.
