I surmised that, in PT1841, the reason why Josette DuPres Collins, the wife of the late Barnabas Collins, was never fully accepted by the family was because she was a Catholic

Interesting theory, and one I can buy for sure!  But to be honest, it's funny to think of Bramwell as a Catholic, LOL!  Catherine would of course be Episcopalian or a Presbyterian w/a name like Harridge.   ^-^

As for me, I believe in being a decent human being.  I'm just not practicing right now.

Hmmmm....me thinks we've got a 'Roseanne' fan here, LOL!  Was that one the funniest episodes ever?!  That, along w/the masterbation ep and the PMS ep rank as my top 3 favorite 'Roseanne' eps.  Oh, and I like the one where the boy keeps getting boners too.   ;D
Buzz-isms:

"I like the bike I got, & the chick I got!"
"I know just the place!?Over in Logansport!"
"If ya feel it, SIT it!"
"Come on, before he offers me a side car too!"
"Her nose needed some powder!"
"You askin' me to give up something I like?"

I loved that episode, Buzz!  That was one of the best one-liners ever uttered.

Oh, while still talking about the denomination-affiliation of DS characters, Angelique was actually Catholic, at least according to Lara Parker's novel Angelique's Descent.  She was baptized Catholic, was raised as one by her mother, but things went out of whack if one read the novel.  Imagine if she decided to finally go to confession around, say, 1971.  The priest would probably have to go into therapy for the next decade.

I'm a WASP girl.

Nicholas:  I am much to talented to spend my time drugging drinks.

Speaking of which, pardon my ignorance, but what is "jainist"? Is there an organized worship of Allison Janney? I tried to start a cult of Julianka but my wife wouldn't let me. Like she and our friend Linda don't have one for Christopher Walken!  ;)  But seriously, to what does that refer?

How does one join the Christopher Walken cult?

I think they were Lycanthropians.  Reformed, of course.

How small-minded wives can be.   As for the Allison Janney cult, and I think it'd have to be an all-out freaky cult or else she'd just have NO respect for you... sign me up.     I'm getting in on the ground floor now, so I can get to to be the Jackal's Pope.

Oh, and for years I was a minister in the Church of the Subgenius.  Rev. Dr. Mr. Sensitive.     They really do come closest to my take on things.
