Thank you. Maybe it's our former Catholic upbringing that helped us form a conscience? Or at least taught us to recognize evil in its various manifestations.

If you have a conscience, you have one despite being raised Catholic, not because of it.
Christianity of all stripes has a really bad habit of taking credit for stuff it doesn't do. Like teaching morality. A conscience is a basic function of being human. Christianity has gotten really good at surgically removing people's natural capacity for empathy and decency and replacing them with the highly conditional Jesus approved version.
The Catholic Church is, quite literally, the world's longest continually running crime ring. And that's not even getting into the fact that child rape is practically a core tenet of the faith.

My Catholic upbringing taught me FEAR. Fear is the Catholic way.
Don't forget about guilt.
