When I was deployed I wore an icon of saint michael and took communion when the chaplain came by even though I didn't believe, just because the ritual of it distracted me.

To a TV interviewer, Crist spoke how much the stimulus package helped Floridians: "I understood and saw as governor of Florida, this great man, this great president, came to Florida even though I was a Republican at the time, helped us with out teachers, our firefighters, our law enforcement officers."
I went to a Catholic private school for first and second grade.
In hindsight, I'm glad my parents transferred me to public school before I was introduced to Leviticus.
I had the opposite experience. My local public school was full of small-minded idiots and the private, Catholic high school I attended was surprisingly moderate about social issues and gave me a fantastic education with teachers that really gave a shit.
Junior year theology was just a general morality class (do unto others and try to be an honest, honorable guy mostly) and senior year was a comprehensive course on religions around the world, including various interpretations of Christianity as well as Hinduism, Taoism, Islam, Judaism and Buddhism.
We had a handful of Muslim and Jewish students, even.
It was upsetting to learn how out of the norm they were after moving south to college but I have great respect for that school, the faculty and their order because of those two years.
catholicism is the most metal thing in the universe
It kind of is. Not only is a blessed host kept in shit like this for show:
that shit is called a Monstrance.
You think that's crazy, you should see the holy relics kept under or within the altar of the church. Most have some collection of various relics from mundane shit like St. What's-His-Name's favorite button to things knuckle bones and small preserved vials fluids like blood or tears. Creepy shit like locks of hair, teeth, or various weapons used to kill the saint aren't uncommon either.
8 years of Catholic grade school and then later going to a Catholic college, being an alter boy, and having grandparents and a mother who were basically insane Shiite Catholics ala Mel Gibson taught me quite a bit about how metal Catholicism is.

I went to a private catholic undergrad. The Jesuit priests were all pretty good teachers, and all were experts in their field (usually philosophy and religion, but some were in the sciences and art and physics). The church aspect of it was a bit odd though as i was not catholic and 4 religion classes were required. The first 2 classes sucked as they were bible study, but the 3rd one was in Rome and the 4th one was just reading essays by CS Lewis.
The strangest thing about the whole religion thing was the priests all giving up their wealth, lived in a building complex near campus, and they were well known for being excellent cooks. Then once a month they would cook for the students in the cafeteria and then you realized just how good they had it. Those guys were eating 5 star meals morning, noon, and night because some of the priests were ex michelin chefs. I do believe ironically named garlic bread was around once or twice.

Yeah, I went to Catholic high school and was taught evolution and natural selection by a straight-up monk.

Catholic grade school 2nd-8th. Taught evolution and that creation was a story by the 6th grade science/religion teacher but the health/religion teacher in junior high assured me I "didn't come from no monkey."
I forgot how many other recovering Catholics are on this board.

I had to sing at an Adoration Mass once and I had never attended one before.
They just kneel in silence.
And stare at bread.
That's it.
I just...I...I dunno guys.
would you rather they stared at an actual mangled corpse
Yes.
But it's not like it's the same thing. I mean, it is for them. But I grew up Protestant.
Bread is bread.
The Episcopal Church does it as a sign of remembrance, there is no magic or transformation that takes place.
The Catholic Church the bread is transformed by the priest, putting the power on the altar. In other Protestant faiths the bread is transformed once it is consumed by a Christian, putting the power in the believer.
I'm going to tell you all a secret, Monastics and holy order priests don't fuck around. Jesuits are pretty great and Franciscans too.
Jesuits can suck my balls. Nobody runs an institution of self-important and elitist pricks quite like the fucking Jesuits.
Hey look, wrong opinions time. What specific institution were you dealing with? My experience with them is pretty much only from an educational facility.
EUGENE, OR—Ingenious, quick-thinking local man Pete Sidell, 29, demonstrated his uncanny cultural savviness today by registering a "Sleepy Romney" Twitter account he can use to parody Mitt Romney if the GOP candidate appears tired at any point during tonight's presidential debate. "If he yawns even for a second, or rubs his eyes a bunch, this thing is gonna blow up," said Sidell, who told reporters the first tweet from the "Sleepy Romney" account would most likely read "zzzzzzzzz." "I could do a screen-cap of him looking sleepy and make that the avatar. And then tweet funny phrases like 'Paul R-Yawn.' People will retweet it and it will become a meme and I'll get a ton of followers." Sidell claimed that if Romney did not appear tired tonight, he could just find a picture of the former Massachusetts governor blinking, use that, and "hope it takes off."

Local private schools here in Ohio that pay their teachers in bits of string, Xavier, John Carroll, Canisius, and to a lesser extent Marquette. Then there's the religious retreats they run for high school boys. All do their best to instill senses of Catholic superiority into their students.

The way i read that it looks like Romney won the tosses but made the wrong choices.
