I was raised in the Catholic church. I am now 35. I was never brought up with the whole "Catholic Guilt" thing. I had a pretty standard Catholic education, but I cannot relate to those Catholics who are older than I am who speak of the church as something I never experienced. About how strict it was, punishing it was, unforgiving. This is not the Catholic church I know. The church I know is welcoming and loving.
After Vatican II, was there a marked shift in Catholic education? Speaking to Catholics my age or younger, we all have the same experience. Speaking to older Catholics, it is a different story.
Why the discrepancy?
