Who here was raised catholic?

probably would have turned out worse from all the stress rotting you inside in regards to your own humanity. 

if you walk around thinking there is inherently something wrong with you on a spiritual level i cant imagine id be any good for a developing child. not to mention the constant judgement from the surrounding communities and pressure to comply.

Protestant Christianity is more strongly based on guilt than catholicism. It was Luther, who believed in total depravity. It doesn't appear that way, because protestantism is fully watered down now.

Catholicism offers confession and forgiveness. It also offers a community, while protestantism offers individualism.
