| 16. Not a surprise. The Catholic Church operates on |

blaming the victim (especially women and children) and in pushing shame and guilt. If something bad happens to you, clearly you did something wrong to deserve it. The elders are completely incapable of taking responsibility for anything because they are an authoritarian sect. They can do no wrong.
As a recovering Catholic this does not surprise me one bit. It does disgust me though. I couldn't get away from that cult soon enough. I know there are others on this board who have different experiences with more liberal Catholic churches. Consider yourselves lucky. I wish that had been my experience.
