Sorry to hear you had that rough a time Neimenovic 
Glad I managed to steer well clear of that.
I've noted in my studies the type of indoctrination Catholic kids get depends entirely on the locality, in a country where they are the minority like the UK they're all "Jesus loves you, Jesus is your best friend, Mary loves you like her own son/daughter etc". All very cushy and fluffy bunnies.
Soon as you head into a Catholic-dominated zone like Ireland you get the hellfire treatment; "The lawwwwd will bollock the wicked! Siiiiins of deerrr fleeesh will be punished by eeetuurnal faaaaaaiiire as our blessed mother at Fatima said!"
My boyfreind apparently got more of the former when he was growing up until secondary school where it got a bit more conservative and intense, it only really turned super nasty when he got outed and his parents forced him to go to a Catholic conversion therapy to zap the gay demon out of him.
Catholics are super gushy to their own in my experience, less so to outsiders but as soon as you mention you're one of the untouchables (single mother, divorcee, gay) it changes in a snap second and you get the fundie hellfire on max volume.
Can I just ask where you guys grew up Neimenovic and Abaris and what years? I'm just curious to know where you got this
