How do you figure that? Whatever my environment was, it wasn't anti-Catholic. For example, I dated plenty of Catholic girls. :)
Of course; I know you well enough to say that you are not anti-Catholic. I simply meant that the predisposition to sovereign individual judgement trumping authority, especially church authority, and certainly anything early-medieval and undemocratic is a uniquely modern idea. That -- I don't blame you for it -- is your lens.
