Just the idea of selecting your faith is weird to me. I can understand a person who has a firm conviction that X religion and it’s dogma are divine truth and feeling compelled to follow it. Even if it’s not for me, I can understand that.
I don’t understand someone who’s like “I don’t actually believe in any of this, but I want to be in the cool kids club. I just can’t unless you fix some of these things that Jesus said”. Who tf is giving Jesus notes?
It just seems to me that Catholic isn’t a thing you aspire to be, or a thing you turn on and off like a lamp. You either believe Catholicism is the dogma of God himself, or you should have no interest in being a part of it.

This person is Conservative first and Catholic as a cultural touchstone. Like, they enjoy the ambience of the church, but they don’t really care for the morality of scripture or the politics of any priest outside their ideological nook.
The joke’s been made a thousand times, but this is how you get Protestants.
