Old Catholic myth debunkedStudy of 3,000 teenagers puts to rest enduring theory of 'Catholic guilt'Misty Harris, Canwest News ServicePublished: Saturday, June 14, 2008
One of the most pervasive stereotypes of Roman Catholicism is being debunked in a new study that reveals "Catholic guilt," at least among the faith's teenage followers, doesn't hold water.
The research, which draws from 3,290 people aged 13 to 17, finds Catholic youth are no more prone to guilt than other teens, that more observant Catholics are no likelier to feel guilty than less observant ones, and that guilt-causing behaviours don't affect contemporary Catholics any more than fellow teens.
"It's no longer the case, if it ever was the case, that Catholicism is turning out guilt-ridden young people who are wallowing in their sin and feeling bad about themselves," says study co-author Christian Smith, a professor of sociology at the University of Notre Dame.
