Cafeteria Catholicism

Derogatory term referring to religious individuals who follow the Catholic faith and pick and choose which doctrines of the Church they wish to follow and which ones they don't.
"Well, I'm against abortion, euthanasia, and homosexual marriages... But contraceptives are alright in my book."

"You reek of Cafeteria Catholicism -- We're not running a buffet! You can't just go in and get what you want..."

smorgasbord Catholicism 

Pickin the Catholic doctrines you like, ignoring the ones you don't. Generally frowned upon by the Church.

Man: At least I will have faith.

Catholicism 

If you have a different religion and you don't want to sin, good luck getting rid of any you already have. Basically, Catholicism is a religion where you CAN murder, steal, lie, and break all the rules, and then be forgiven.

That's because..

WE HAVE THE SACRAMENT OF CONFESSION!
Man#1: Hey, I'm Pagan and I killed a guy.

Man#2: Well, sucks to be you. I've got a priest!

CATHOLICISM:
AWESOMISM.
