I have nothing to back this up but it seems to me that there's no guilt like Catholic guilt. I'm working on it but when something goes wrong my first thought is always that somehow it's my fault. That's not a healthy way to live. But I think if I am funny it has to have something to do with the challenge of making someone laugh in a a perfectly quiet classroom while the Sister is writing something on the blackboard. The person that gets caught laughing also has Catholic guilt so they would never turn me in. I always felt bad about that----see----it never ends.
