Catholicism requires rigid and specific belief in almost all major facets of life. I was raised Catholic, kid, so don't pretend it isn't the iron corset it is.

Not only are all the beliefs of Catholicism limned with dizzying detail, those who identify as Catholic are obligated to believe it all. It's fascism meets religion.

If you do not believe, for example, that the bread you take during communion IS literally the body of Christ, you aren't a Catholic.

None of this "hmm, no, I like calling myself a Catholic--it's fun!" bullshit.
