Practising Catholic here - I don’t understand what specific catholic challenges I have at work? The biggest issue for me is the annoying Cardinal Pell and other rape jokes.

Mainly it’s smiling and changing the subject when colleagues repeat common misconceptions about the church and its teachings. If someone prosecutes the case to me because they know I’m a practicing catholic, I’ll politely dismantle the argument , not that people want to accept that they were sold a bill of goods. But I live in a fairly intolerant secular area (urban west coast).

Also we are not allowed to send greeting cards or share religion based tidbits in the office these days. Thinking about Easter egg bunnies, hot cross buns and Christmas cards. It’s not a challenge and certainly we don’t have to expose ourselves to the unwanted attention, just thinking that it would be nice to share the joy of the risen Lord especially during Easter. Also the chance to correct people when they think that Christmas is the birth of Santa Claus!
