Zone1 Being Catholic means "eating shit" and smiling while eating it

[Zincwarrior]

I'm Catholic, but when I go to a party I don't tell people.

So people say stuff about the Catholic Church in front of me they wouldn't say if they knew I was Catholic.

Jokes about priests diddling altar boys are standard-fare party humor.

Evangelicals talk about how it's too bad Mother Teresa went to hell, because, as we all know, Catholics are idolators who go to hell.

"Whore of Babylon" some say.

"The Pope is the Anti-Christ" say others. This happens no matter who is the Pope.

A young man explained to some friends how the Catholic Church hid a few Jews in the basement so they could lie and say they saved most of the Jews in Italy. They didn't, the young man is certain.

Priests and nuns have a secret tunnel so they can have sex with each other.

Nuns give themselves coat hanger abortions and flush their fetuses down the toilet.

I've heard it all.

Dude you need new friends.
