Do you think penance involves being in a cult? For one the first defintion in your image shows you can use it outside of a religious context. Because I don't think Catholics are in a cult.
You don't think Catholics are a cult? Why? Because they're more of a military or...?
cult (kŭlt)
n. A religion or religious sect generally considered to be extremist or false, with its followers often living in an unconventional manner under the guidance of an authoritarian, charismatic leader.
n. The followers of such a religion or sect.
n. A system or community of religious worship and ritual.
Yes! Having been raised Catholic this statement hits the nail on the head! Most American Catholics are pretty normal; its the ones who go more than once a week or to confession on the reg are the cultists.
Most American Catholics are fraudulent Cafeteria Catholics, who advocate a pick-and-choose-the-doctrines-that-I-want-to-follow lifestyle. They're from the Northeast. They support abortion, etc. They're no different than "Reform Jews". But first, tell me if the Twelve Apostles were following a cult? Look up the definition of 'cult', to help you.
Cafeteria catholics, nice. My brother in law calls me a CEO Catholic: Christmas and Easter Only. Which isn't even true because I havent been to church in at least 13 or 14 years.

If you think Catholicism meets that first definition, you have never really spent any time with Catholics.

American Catholics are just scared agnostics. Real, actual, Catholics are cultists.
