My experience was different. At 11 years old I argued with the priests and nuns. At 13 I rejected the Catholics. I never went to confession or became confirmed. It was the early 1970's so youthful rebellion was fashionable. I fought with my parents over this decision. Soon, they left the Roman Church and became Pentecostal. I did not follow along.
God thinks it's fun to confuse primates. Larsen's God!
