I was raised in Northeast PA. It's a mostly Catholic area and I went to Catholic school for 12 years. Twelve years too many. I'm proud to say that I am no longer Catholic. I flushed that shit down the toilet many years ago. It's in the sewer where it belongs. They try to control every aspect of your life including your genitals. Sexual repression is unhealthy and immoral. The Catholic Church has abused children for hundreds of years. They're hypocrites and have no credibility. The Church doesn't deserve to exist.
