*nod* I definitely know other people both religious and not who have the same kind of thing from childhood.
I think the Oxford Movement was good in this respects for all catholics, not just Anglo-Catholics (I mean, as much as I've read Newman or Manning or people like that, it's a theme they seem fond of), and possibly wider English Christianity, and that's why we as English people think like that? OTOH, my German side very definitely act that way, too... see the story of my Great-Grandfather and the international war crimes tribunal, of which I am sure everyone who knows me is heartily sick.
