Catholic Guilt Hats

Catholic guilt, in Wikipedia's words, is the reported excess guilt felt by Catholics and lapsed Catholics, and 30 Rock gave it its best line: Jack Donaghy's crushing guilt that arrives whether things are good or bad or you are simply eating tacos in the park. These hats are written from inside the pew, for the people who grew up with it. CATHOLIC GUILT and RAISED CATHOLIC are the plain badges for cradle Catholics, lapsed and devout alike, and IRISH CATHOLIC sits in an arch. AIN'T NO GUILT LIKE CATHOLIC GUILT is the boast already selling on shirts. The rest are the in-jokes. Tony, Tony, come around is the devotional rhyme to St. Anthony, patron of lost things, here sent after the car keys. Sit, stand, kneel becomes Catholic cardio, the joke the market also sells as Catholic school cardio. The opening of the Hail Mary is pressed into service for a parking space. Others are confessions the wearer owns: giving up giving things up for Lent, saving it for confession, the Christmas and Easter Catholic, and the early exit right after Communion, which one EWTN article put at about 30 percent of a single 750-person parish. Every design is custom embroidered on an unstructured dad hat, and the Tony Tony rhyme gets a second colorway. Pick the one that sounds like your mother, your grandmother, or the whole pew.
