text: Many of the nones have been brought up by the children of the parents who were raised by THEIR Catholic parents to fear and loathe their natural humanity and to categorize mortal and venial sins before they could name any plants. I believe there has been a generational laying to waste of the notion of original sin as people have simply backed off the concept that human beings are inherently sinful. It lines up with no acceptable theory of cognitive development, nor any effective philosophy of child discipline. No wonder the nones are spiritual yet freed from fear. Just another example of science exerting a greater influence than the church when it comes to human nature.
