Episcopalians, which is basically Catholicism-lite, are even more chill. They were the first to allow gay people to be reverends.

Not if you go to a church where they still do the Latin Mass.

That's generally true, except for the overwhelming violence sometimes. Also there's the thing with fascists converting to catholicism in America. In a different form of Catholics having no fucking chill, is the aesthetics and relationship to suffering. Catholicism has a religious fetishization of suffering, which can produce really cool art from The Locked Tomb books (some of the major plot points include specifically catholic dogma) to the gilded human remains, as well as producing some weirder stuff like the play Sancta Susana, religious autoflagelation, and just so very many billable hours for therapists relating to guilt.
