Hello JanetR,
I was a little too intense for my own good yesterday.
'strict, repressive,joyless Catholic household and I wonder if this triggered my depression and detachment.'
Yes, this could definately set you up for a life with depression. First because your parents may well have been depressed (or with depressive leanings) to have adopted and practised this type of Catholicism, and second of all because of the life style (repressive, and joyless) that your family practised is, I think, conducive to depression.
'Religion is supposed to be conducive to mental health' I wonder about this too.
Whereever humans & a code of ethics meet, I believe, there will be rampant hypocrisy.
You haven't bored me at all Janet R.
I don't blame one person who had bad experiences with religion to be completely turned off of it.
Is Brazil very Catholic? Is it changing?
