traditional catholic

Roman Catholics who enjoy or adhere to a more traditional practice of Catholicism. This tends to be more strict and within a Catholic context more legalistic. The traditional latin mass is admired for its solemnity and reverence. Morally they take a more traditional and harsher stance on contraception, extra-martial relationships, cohabitation, legbt+ matters, divorce, and so on... not necessarily 'radtrad' or 'sedevacantist' or 'sspx' or 'schismatic'.
"As a traditional Catholic I would rather the mass be in Latin to preserve the reference to the mass."
"You traditional Catholics lose sight of the social and communal nature that the mass was in the early church. Also how the church needs to exist in the modern world."
"That is a traditional Catholic family. See all the girls are wearing veils at mass."

Catholic politics

Absolute power corrupts absolutely. It is the absolute truth. Over time, many Catholic popes, priests, and bishops have demonstrated an inability to use their absolute power responsibly. When word/gossip of this leaks out, there is a panic in the magisterium because the Catholic church must be an infallible institution. Then begins the media spin, where the magisterium conjures up whatever lies they can in order to warp the truth to their favor. Then, every bad thing is neatly swept under the rug. This is the cycle of Catholic politics.
I really like Catholicism and it is a great religion with strong morals and lots of good people, but Catholic politics just make me sick.

Lancaster Catholic

A High School in Lancaster City that, despite Christian values, is actually 75% queer, 15% atheist, 10% thot, which consists of a girls basketball cult. This school, although seems fun, is actually full of JUUL fiends and a 95% illiteracy rate.
Girl: “Hey I’m moving to Lancaster Catholic next year!!”
Boy: “Damn, I always knew you were a thot.”

woodwork catholics

Catholics who come out of the woodwork to attend mass only on Christmas, Easter, and one week into New Year's Resolutions. They're the reason the regularly participating catholics can't get a seat or a parking spot on those crowded holidays. They also pull out their catholic card when they want to have a wedding or baptism in a church because it makes for nice pictures.
We listened to Christmas mass in the doorway of the church because the place was overflowing with woodwork catholics.
