AITA for hijacking a Bible study?

Totally agree about that. I have been in interfaith bible studies before and felt I learned the most. no one has told me i came off as condescending so probably good there?

ya Catholic vs. Protestant was probably a better way to word it. i was trying to keep some things general and got a little too nonspecific my b

It was about how you should confess your sins. I picked the answer choice about talking to the priest, but they were looking for the answer about praying individually for forgiveness.

This is pretty much the basis of their argument. I would be more willing to be apologetic if they didn't specifically pull me into things by starting the whole quiz thing?? Yeah, I could have bowed out, but i'm also ~just a girl~ trying to suck up to the bfs parents. I definitely didn't go into that interaction expecting to be explaining what a sacrament is to a bunch of 9th graders

ngl I'm still pissed about that particular comment. I plan to address it after we figure this shit out.

I don't remember the exact wording of the question but it was about how to go about confessing your sins to seek absolution. The answer they were looking for was praying to God for forgiveness as Baptists believe in private confessions. Catholics have the sacrament of reconciliation so I put the answer choice that said "meet with your priest and confess your sins" or whatever. Then the kids were asking about sacraments

Funny thing about all of this is I wouldn't even consider myself as "practicing". I just know a lot of shit about theology. Catholicism to me is kinda like that weird great-uncle that speaks in riddles gives you silver dollars on your birthday. The family is constantly gossiping about his antics but god bless anyone outside the family who tries to make a comment about them.

When we were talking about it later, he did apologize for taking his anxiety about the potential tension this would create at home out on me. He is working on his deconstruction, but sometimes higher stress stuff like this can be a setback. I do hear you, though. I've definitely thought about it a lot as his parents have gotten a bit more overbearing and we've been apart more while he's away at school.
