As charged...

I know about guilt. Jewish guilt is directly related to Catholic guilt. The difference, recently defined at a Seder by a recovering Catholic, is that Jewish guilt is inflicted from external sources --say, your mother. Catholic guilt apparently comes from within.

Now I'm told of another version: Protestant guilt. I thought Protestants gave up guilt when Martin Luther nailed his Theses to the church door.
