Religion
English term or phrase: hand-me-down catholicism
Une jeune femme parle de la situation dans laquelle elle se trouvait à l'époque où elle s'est mariée. Voici ce qu'elle dit : "I came into my marriage with nothing. A bit of hand-me-down catholicism, and a need to be loved. I couldn't care less about our religion...",et elle expliqe qu'à présent, elle a la foi.
Je sèche un peu sur ce "hand-me-down catholicism". Vous avez peut-être des idées ?

Explanation:

Je ne suis pas tout à fait d'accord avec "notions" ou "rudiments" qui indiquent des connaissances, plutôt que des sentiments religieux.

Explanation:
