I was raised Catholic too, in fact I was an altar boy in rural Ireland in the 90's. A lot of my work has Catholic references actually.

My best friend was an alter boy. I was too shy as a boy to go up in front of people. My wife doesn't believe me. I'm the total opposite now.

I understand this. I did 13 years of Catholic school as a boy, and all it left me with was a complete lack of faith and fear of Catholic imagery.
