Catholic Guilt Quotes

“We are all just trying to be holy.”
― Richard Siken, Crush

“The idea of false renunciation (self-sacrifice) is not contained in the teachings of the Christos. This idea of renunciation was created by a Roman Catholic Church hungry for money and power. It is truly the time to eliminate all images of the suffering Christ: bloody and beaten, weak and tortured. These images are designed to fill the Catholic with tremendous feelings of guilt; the horrible misconception that because of their sins Christ Jesus had to suffer such nightmarish torture and death. Nothing more diabolical, nor more evil, can be imagined than filling the hearts and minds of young people with guilt that will live inside of them for the rest of their lives!”

“Basically, I'm a very spiritual person. I'm very tempted to renounce almost everything. Perhaps it's because of my Catholic upbringing. I have this tendency to want to renounce things that have any bad effects at all, because their good effects are always offset by their bad effects.”
― Robert Crumb
