re: For those raised Catholic, what was the number one take-away lesson you got from it?

Nun glared at class and taught me that every time I sinned I would get a black spot on my soul. Never a word about God’s grace and forgiveness.
I was 10 years old and felt like I had no shot
At 10 years old I also learned I couldn’t light a candle in the church without paying up some money to the church.
This was in the 1960s. I understand that things have gotten better in the Catholic Church lately. Let’s hope so for the sake of our young people.
Terrible examples in those days.

You’re insane.
Some of the more compassionate, warm, kind people I’ve been around.
Even the hard arse types are like mothers…they’re on you and tough because they care. And after busting your chops, they take mend you up, take care of you and tell you how much that they care for you.
They’re like a parent. A real parent and not a “friend.” They can be hard because the care and have your best interest in mind

How are you following the 10 Commandments if you don’t believe in the Catholic faith as these commandments are fundamental?

When I was a Catholic kid we couldn’t eat meat any Friday,all year long. I once forgot it was a Friday and ate some meat,once I realized what I had done I was scared to death I was going to die before I could get to confession since they taught that was a mortal sin.
By definition, this wouldn’t be Mortal Sin because that requires full consent of the will and full knowledge of what you’re doing.
In sorry you feel this way about Christ’s Church. The Church is there waiting for you to come back, friend.

It’s sad to read this thread, because it appears so many of us Catholics were not catechized well in our youth, either through our fault or poor teaching from the local parish. Regardless, we should try to truly understand the faith better because it seems like there is a lot of things people say they don’t like about the Church that frankly just aren’t true.
I would highly recommend find a traditional priest online maybe to watch some videos from and find a true and traditional perspective of the faith where nothing is sugarcoated.

"Turn the other cheek" means respond with a spirit of generosity, overcoming evil with good. It is a means of ending the cycle of violence offered with "an eye for an eye."
It does not mean allow yourself or others to be abused or subjugated. The catechism teaches legitimate self-defense:
“Love toward oneself remains a fundamental principle of morality. Therefore it is legitimate to insist on respect for one’s own right to life.” Moderate force (even lethal force if necessary as a last resort to stop an aggressor) is permitted; the intent must be to preserve life, not to kill out of hatred. Defense can even be a grave duty when one is responsible for others (family, society). It is not required for salvation to forgo moderate self-defense. -- The Catechism of the Catholic Church (2263–2267)
Many, many people misunderstand this, to our collective detriment.

Purgatory / Limbo is this still a thing?

Individuals churches are simply franchises.
Dogma allows them to send you to hell if you don't participate.
Education of the public is their downfall.

Yes, this is a fundamental teaching.
Those in purgatory died in God’s grace, but still need further purification to remove any attachment to sin before they can enter Heaven. They are known as the Church Suffering.
As for Limbo, what context are you referring to this?

Catholicism doesn’t teach that, but it does teach that you’ll burn in hell if you die when you’re two days old and haven’t been baptized yet.
That’s why Catholics baptize babies as soon as possible.

Far from it in the mid ‘80’s, matter of opinion I’d say some would show unreasonable devotion…

Guilt. It’s called Catholic Guilt for a reason. It’s nice to learn as a toddler that you’re going to burn in hell.
That Church I grew up in is all but dead. I guess there are a few old people like me who still feel guilt, but that’s definitely not the norm anymore. Anything goes now.
