The Traditional Catholic MO:

1) Establish church presence based upon memes of "ancient and divine" Roman authority
2) Enmesh church into local culture and politics
3) Catechize the faithful in "apostolic" traditions (although clearly many of them are not)
4) Hoodwink adherents into believing the infallible nature of magisterial teaching ("Do Not Question God!")
5) Do "good" things in the community to maintain airs of virtue and irreproachability
6) The table now set, a breeding ground for abuse is fully established

Sorry if this seems harsh but it is time to "out" the authoritarian MO of religious indoctrination. We are quick to speak out against the dangers of other cult-like behaviors, what about RCism? Of course not everyone involved in religious life is guilty of this mindset but how many times must history repeat itself before victims have sufficient foreknowledge to stop making such inane remarks as reported in this article, to wit: "I'll be Roman Catholic until the day I die."
