Had an interesting conversation about this tonight and I think the differences are interesting

1. WASPs discuss politics at the dinner table. Catholics tend to avoid such topics
2. WASPs are overly concerned with what other WASPs will say about them. Catholics are more worried about going to Hell.
3. WASPs are more likely to be molested by their actual father or uncle. Catholics are more likely to be molested by their priest.

feel free to add or correct me

Nice thread ya got here.

#2 is completely wrong

Catholics have confession and all kinds of loopholes.

They be like "Hell? Naw son, we got dat 190% indulgence. "

I aint mad at 'em

I'm Krallum and I approved this message.

8/25/2013 9:53:42 AM

I agree that you're 100% wrong about #2

8/25/2013 10:31:59 AM

Are you talking about just the WASP Protestants or are you including the white non-as protestants too?

8/25/2013 11:32:22 AM

W

8/25/2013 11:33:27 AM

Anglo-Saxon is offensive to me.

8/25/2013 11:37:31 AM

I don't know a ton of non-white protestants, so yeah I mostly just mean WASPs.

And I'm still convinced Catholics spends more time worrying about avoiding hell than Protestants.

8/25/2013 11:44:10 AM

I mean the white, non anglo saxon protestants...you know the ones that don't have English ancestors...like a lot of us Lutherans.

8/25/2013 11:51:46 AM

I don't think it's quite the same thing.

If rule #1 applies to you, maybe

8/25/2013 11:56:18 AM

Well all protestants are not wasps...and I take offense to you including me in as a wasp...you should have titled it Catholic vs. WASP upbringing.


I'm just kidding, I just have some free time before I head off to shack and I wanted to post on here a couple of times.

8/25/2013 12:01:57 PM

getting offended about stupid shit is very WASPy, so you're confusing me now

8/25/2013 12:29:02 PM

Lol...i said i was just kidding...i wanted to try to start some debate and then leave... I'm not offended at all

8/25/2013 12:31:04 PM

yeah I know.

so can we all at least agree on #3?

8/25/2013 12:37:16 PM

I grew up Catholic and 1. is absolutely wrong.

8/25/2013 12:46:20 PM

nope, and that's it, time to go to war over this. Yay religion!

8/25/2013 1:55:46 PM

Increase your sample size.

A huge majority of African Americans are Protestants. And weren't you just bragging a couple months ago about your vast experience with diverse communities?

I'm very confused.

8/25/2013 6:46:19 PM

Having been raised Protestant and now a confirmed Catholic, I'm going to call the first two BS. The third one, well, at least we don't have the weird uncle!

Then again, I'm an Eastern Catholic (Ruthenian Byzantine - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruthenian_Catholic_Church), so I'm only a spectator to the Roman Catholic way.

WASPs get grape juice at church because alcohol is evil. Catholics buy their priests beers

8/25/2013 8:17:27 PM

Wait until word gets around to the bar-fly that sawahash is baptist

You sorta got me there, but Black people by virtue of the fact that they're black, cannot be WASPs, so I wasn't really thinking of them. Or Latinos. Or Asians.

OMG I'm a racist.

Episcopalians drink at church events, but not as much as Catholics.

It's only right to hook a father up since we kinda owe priests, and more specifically, european monks for being able to enjoy the wonder that is beer.

Q: What's the difference between Baptists and Episcopalians?



A: Episcopalians say hello to each other in the liquor store.

Q: Why do you always take two Mormons with you when you go fishing?



A: If you only take one, he'll drink all your beer
