Every day Catholics prove that you can be a good Catholic and a good Democrat and have a different position from the Church on abortion.
James Carville

For a man to come right out and say he does not believe in the Old Testament, I think many Catholics across the nation as well as the world are offended by Bill O'Reilly claiming he's an Irish Catholic.
Stephen Bennett

Growing up Catholic has been a gift.
Moira Kelly

He was of the faith chiefly in the sense that the church he currently did not attend was Catholic.
Kingsley Amis

How many Catholic schools do you think teach the students to question the authority of the Pope? Do you believe Christian schools teach students to question or challenge the authority of Jesus Christ? Do military schools teach the cadets to challenge the authority.
Neal Boortz

I am and have always been a strong proponent of public education. But by the virtue of its very nature - publicly funded schools cannot offer the type of spiritual education that Catholic schools have long provided.
Mark Foley

I am drawn to Christ but I have real problems with the Catholic Church.
Andres Serrano

I am just an ordinary Catholic.
Maggie Gallagher

I am not a Catholic; but I consider the Christian idea, which has its roots in Greek thought and in the course of the centuries has nourished all of our European civilization, as something that one cannot renounce without becoming degraded.
Simone Weil

I am not the Catholic candidate for President. I am the Democratic Party's candidate for President, who happens also to be a Catholic.
John F. Kennedy

I am saying voluntarily that I have sung for almost every religious group in the country, from Jewish and Catholic, and Presbyterian and Holy Rollers and Revival Churches.
Pete Seeger

I became a Catholic against my will.
Shusaku Endo

I belong to the middle class that grew up very influenced by the Catholic church. The people of the novel are from a more pagan and practical world in which the Christianity is just a veneer.
John McGahern

I don't believe in organized religion - I dealt with them hand in hand, and a whole bunch of Catholic priests tried to molest me. Telling me I was gay and I should go home with them and stuff.
Jonathan Davis

I don't know, maybe it's because I was raised Catholic. Confession has always held a great appeal for me.
Alison Bechdel

I don't need a psychiatrist. I'm Catholic.
Dorothy Kilgallen

I grew up a Catholic and I don't want to talk badly about the Catholic Church but there's a lot of routine stuff going on. You say the same prayers, you sit, you kneel, whatever.
Bernhard Langer

I grew up in a big Irish, Catholic family. My dad was a pretty rough guy. So one of my brothers left home when he was 15 and found his way to the gym. It gave me the opportunity to go and spend some time with him and work out in the gym.
Gerry Cooney

I guess now that I think back, I used to play priest and be a funny priest. I don't know, I grew up in such a Catholic family that I kind of liked to test the boundaries a little bit and I think I had fun watching my mom laugh.
Jenny McCarthy

I had to have some balls to be Irish Catholic in South London. Most of that time I spent fighting.
Pierce Brosnan
