@petealexharris@mastodon.scot My own brother, plus one of my close childhood friends both converted to catholicism because of the "honey trap" that ideology imposes - catholic females won't marry you unless you convert.
I have had decades to observe what were once two open and progressive young men slowly adopt typical catholic materialism, a judgemental patriarchal attitude, gender stereotyping and prejudice against people perceived as outsiders.
It is very sad indeed.

@petealexharris@mastodon.scot Another thing I've noticed when having to deal with catholics is their fixation on what you do for a living. They don't look at people as individuals, they like to compartmentalise people according to profession. They like to place you in their little patriarchal hierarchical world view. This is particularly annoying in healthcare settings. When someone is taking a medical history and suddenly you get asked what you do for a living and you can see them mentally ticking some box.
