He said: "I think the impact for me was that you’re never completely happy because you never do well enough.
"The religion makes you feel always a bit guilty because the Catholic religion is like that.
"We had to confess every week and sometimes I learned to lie as well because I didn’t always remember what I did wrong.
"You came out fresh, you always felt, 'Okay I have confessed now. God forgive me – I can start my life again."
Wenger worked in his parents' bistro as a kid in the agricultural village but admitted his mum and dad's busy lifestyle left little time for family life.
'I think the impact for me was that you're never completely happy because you never do well enough,' he says. 'The religion makes you feel always a bit guilty because the Catholic religion is like that.
Wenger is a religious man - and may need to be after his side's mauling at the hands of Bayern Munich left their Champions League hopes hanging by a thread - and was asked for similarities between his faith and his football and whether he has a "mystical power" over his players. "I am only a guide.
"I prayed a lot when I was a kid because I was educated in a Catholic area," Wenger said. "Religion was very strong to us, to ask the priest if I can play on Sunday afternoon … now I am a bit less [religious] because when you are under pressure you only think of our game. How can I win the next game?
Wenger did so many things that only a world class manager could have done. Wenger revolutionized English Football when he arrived in 1996. He changed the way the game is played, he had a vision far beyond anyone could have had back in day. He developed and nurtured world class players.
Author George R.R. Martin has stated that the Faith of the Seven in the A Song of Ice and Fire novels is loosely analogous, at least in social function, to the medieval Catholic Church. Martin himself was raised Roman Catholic but by the time of the TV series, describes himself as a "lapsed Catholic".

Arsenal signing Gabriel Jesus was seen as one of those rare things: a great deal for all parties. The Gunners got the striker that they so desperately needed; Jesus stepped out of the shadow of incoming Erling Haaland. He didn't cost too much; yet City made a profit on him.
Brazilian forward Jesus has most often been used as a 'number nine' since joining the Gunners in 2022, but is ready to move out wide if it will benefit the team - of couse, he often played on the flanks for former club Manchester City too.
Money was flowing and Arsenal found it increasingly difficult to lure the best players to the club as it didnt want to break its transfer and wage budgets as the Stadium needed to be paid off first. Instead it started selling off key players like Toure and Van Persie to their competitors.
Ferguson won 13 Premier League titles across three decades, five FA Cups, four League Cups and the Champions League twice while Wenger lifted three Premier League titles as well as seven FA Cups.
Adopting a free thinking philosophy, he encouraged the players to use their initiative on the ball, and when mistakes were inevitably made, he didn't berate them nor lose trust in their abilities. In theory, Wenger's laissez-faire leadership made good sense.
A source said Wenger, 65, and Annie, who married in December 2010 after a long term relationship, had “not been happy for a while”. “They have divided up their assets and agreed a financial package to separate. “They decided this was the best course of action to take.”
Their diet is basically boiled vegetables, fish and rice. No fat, no sugar. You notice when you live there that there are no fat people", he famously said. And this is the approach he took to hard-drinking, pie-eating Arsenal.
In 1973 he joined semi-professional club Mulhouse and balanced his football career with his education. Wenger completed an economics degree a year later.
John Calvin is known for his influential Institutes of the Christian Religion (1536), which was the first systematic theological treatise of the reform movement. He stressed the doctrine of predestination, and his interpretations of Christian teachings, known as Calvinism, are characteristic of Reformed churches.
He was born to a Muslim Bosniak father, Šefik Ibrahimović, who emigrated to Sweden in 1977, and a Catholic Croat mother, Jurka Gravić, who also emigrated to Sweden where the couple first met. Ibrahimović identifies with his mother's faith and considers himself a devout Catholic Christian.
During his professional career, White is credited with pioneering free agency in sports. Outside of football he was also known for his Christian ministry as an ordained evangelical minister, leading to his nickname, "the Minister of Defense".
He was a principal figure in the development of the system of Christian theology later called Calvinism, including its doctrines of predestination and of God's absolute sovereignty in the salvation of the human soul from death and eternal damnation.
