Welcome.
I also was raised catholic, but in an actual catholic country in Central Europe. Growing up I also often heard, that if I didn't like it, I should leave. I didn't like it. I left. The joke's on them, because my country of origin is a sh*thole. Which is why a large number of my friends and family have left since - even the ones who still love Jeezles.
