“I don't know about being a Catholic anymore, though I had a great romance with the Church. But its male hierarchy causes me pain and distress. So I can't really pay too much attention. When that encyclical from the Pope - the one about contraception - began 'Dear Sons and Brothers' I figured it must be private mail and had nothing to do with me. So I didn't read it.” KnowsI CanPainRomanceReligionCausesChurchPayAttentionToo MuchSonBrotherCatholicMalesDearMailDistressPopeHierarchyContraceptionGreat Romance Author:Joan Hackett
“My mom was very spiritual. We were a Catholic family. We read the Bible at a young age. I have two brothers and a sister. We're all very close. That was part of our childhood. But when I went to college and then got drafted and played in Anaheim, it was a life changer for me. I was exposed to so many things.

“My mother, father and brothers (I was the youngest of three boys), were all very sarcastic and we were a complete Irish-Catholic family. We didn't talk about our feelings ever, and if we did, we were yelling about them - there was no in-between.

“One of the biggest problems I found with Irish politics and the economic thing was after the war, after World War II, most of the European countries started to develop economically and socially, but whatever way the Catholic church they took a grip and they almost governed the country.

There is good and bad, but we experienced an awful lot of bad, especially from the institutions that taught children the Christian brothers, etc.” WorldMeanChildrenWarCountryProblemChristianChurchEconomicBrotherCatholicWar Of The WorldsWorld War IiWorld War IDictatorshipGood And Bad Author:Gavin Friday
