No, I don't have a Catholic background per se. I do, however, have several Catholic friends whom I converse with on a regular basis. I also have my art background, which has translated into a strong intererst in icons in the Orthodox and Catholic traditions. I guess point #1 might be more of an art major vs. Catholic/Protestant thing. It does raise the interesting question (which I've pondered quite a bit) about whether or not Catholic/Orthodox worshippers are generally more advanced in their understanding of visual communication. Why would they be? Because the visual element is a strong part of their worship experience, whereas it's been largely missing from the Protestant experience due to our history of iconoclasm.

From my general knowledge of Catholicism I picked up on zero of the points you mentioned. And good for you on being a youth leader! My youth leaders have been some of the most influential people in my life. Do you have a Catholic background Kyle?
