You should tone down you hatred for catholicsm.
You obviously grew up in a catholic home, and have a decidedly different view. It was not your religion it was the religion of your parents. you should find your own. It may indeed be sexually repressive, but it is clear that it is exactly that sexual reperssion which attracted this lost soul to catholicism afer a life of being debauched by every man she slept with.
If this woman finds solace in the catholic church, why do you feel this desire to denigrate her for it. BTW didn't that idiot irish singer Sinaed O'Connor become a born again catholic, for much the same reasons as this woman.
You need to just let it go. If the Catholic church is not for you, that is fine. Go find something else.
BTW, I'm not a catholic, never was, never will be.
Just because I call Catholicism the most sexually suppressed Western religious tradition? What other religion teaches that you're going to hell for masturbation? OK, Mormonism does, too.

I did. I'm an athiest. You are quite observant though, perhaps you've met other people who were brought up Catholic? Maybe my reaction to it is not too rare.

She's not just someone I met at a dinner party who is espousing joining a religion as a way of dealing with your inner demons. She's pontificating about her way of life in a mass media article (that I didn't post, by the way) and I get to comment on it.
Now, if she had dealt with her inability to get over her past behavior by becoming an Islamist, would you be just as comfortable with it? To me, it would be the same thing--doing something that is designed to keep a lid on yourself by having an invisible friend 'watching' over you. It's far easier than simply coming to terms with what you did, and resolving to make better choices with your life the next time.
The Church is not sexually repressive. The traditional Church fits traditional society, unlike the ECUSA and others which advocate for anything goes.
