Shaming people for their actions is a way to guarantee compliance and quash dissent. The Catholic Church is no different than any other cult, but they have been accepted as normal. It is not normal. It is a cult that protects pedophiles and child abusers, and subjugates women. And yes I was raised and schooled in the Catholic Church. I tried to leave as a teenager and I was shamed by my family. I identify as a recovering former member of the Catholic Church.

Catholics are all about asking for forgiveness.

In order to ask for forgiveness, you have to recognize that you do the wrong things.

People feel guilty when they do things that go against their beliefs.

its pretty self explanatory. You were made to feel guilty for whatever ‘sin’ you committed. could be big could be small, they just made you feel like shit about whatever you did wrong
