tbf some recent-ish Pope got shot in the ribs, so it’s probably to prevent that happening again

I’d bet it was a family member that did it

I was raised Catholic and had the misfortune of going to a Catholic school, so I can give you the reasons they believe these things. To start off, I know nothing about eastern Orthodox Catholic beliefs

1. Catholics believe you’re not praying to the saint or whatever, but praying through them. What they hate is praying to stuff. (I know, confusing and makes little sense)
2. Probably the answer would be “artist interpretation”. One religion teacher (literally studied Catholic theology) I’ve also had said something along the lines of “Adam and Eve likely weren’t really the first humans, they were just a representation of something” (sorry I couldn’t be clearer, I never paid attention)

Nah if someone was being a douche because they were compensating for a lack of tits, I’d say they’re in the small tits club.

As it stands though, it’s just kind of the saying because of some random cultural thing that dates back to at least Shrek probably. (Don’t judge me for my timeframe)
