Oh, yeah, and the part where I wasn’t Catholic. Nor, even in first grade, did I have any desire to become Catholic.
I, in fact, went to one of the many flavors of protestant churches, and was protestant. As you can imagine, this causes a problem – the nuns and students at the Catholic public school were telling me I was going to Hell for not being Catholic, or at very minimum, I wasn’t going to Heaven (there’s always that nice ‘catch all’ in between of Purgatory.) And of course, the protestants saying the Catholics were going to Hell for not being protestants.
