Irish Catholicism

E talked to me a little bit about catholic guilt and that whole sense of morality. Was that a relatively recent concept for the catholic church or was that sense of morality and guilt always attached to the church? Whene actually, i was a peculiar feature of irish catholicism, and it was linked into victorian attitudes to sexuality. And really, when you look at the practices in continental europe, in spain and in the latin countries generally,. there were pretty lax when it came to issues of sexuality.
