And the blind and rabid attachment to a specific denomination is something I don’t get.

Pinging others to either back me up or correct me. But this was my experience.

Catholics are taught that being Catholic makes you better than everyone else. Not a forgiven sinner, but morally and intellectually superior, and the ONLY group deserving of salvation because of all their good works. The pride of being in “the one true church” is a lure that is hard to escape.

I find it kind of amusing and kind of sad that the vanity of being Catholic is paired with the constant hammering of guilt that is also part and parcel of being Catholic.

To admit that any other Christians may have a point brings down the whole house of cards.

Cant speak for the average Catholic, but we seem to have quite a few Roman Roosters here, that crow and crow and crow, and believe their incessant prideful crowing makes the sun rise.

They do occasionally take time to smugly preen themselves...

Sounds about right.

I am not sure they are word for word, taught they are better than everyone else, but the other factors you mentioned, surely indicate it’s true. Now, me personally? I never really thought I was personally superior, and maybe that is another reason why I had no problem leaving the Catholic Church. 😁🤗🤣👍

Heck; Mormon minds of mush get filled with better than that!!

There is pride in being a Catholics to some degree, but more so in their church, and I think the cultic devotion so often seen by propagandists is due to their self-proclaimed one true church being the source of their spiritual security, and thus they manifest compelled assertions of refuted Catholic teaching, as if that parroting made it true, and or the often desperate attempts to actually defend them. For the RCC is almost like God to many, and thus they cannot stand to see its authority threatened,and thus blithely repeat Catholic beliefs in order comfort themselves, and or desperately contrive arguments to defend her.

May God peradventure grant them "repentance to the acknowledging of the truth" (2 Timothy 2:25)for salvation.
