Catholicism is not a soothing religion. It's a painful religion. We're all gluttons for punishment.
Madonna CicconeMy father was very strict with me, and I kept seeing a disparity between their freedom and my lack of it, or how I had all the responsibilities and they had none. And the Catholic Church, all of the rules, and why did I have to wear a dress when they could wear pants? I would say to my dad: 'Will Jesus love me less if I wear pants? Am I going to hell?'
Madonna CicconeWhen my world seems to crumble all around, and foolish people try to bring me down, I just think of your smile face, and I'm flying.
