Can I just go in say I'm Catholic when I'm not? Is there a Catholicism test I/we would have to take? (lol)
If the anti-religion peanut gallery could skip this thread it would be helpful.  |
Yes you can...
All 3 of my kids went to Catholic school in spite of me and my wife not being Catholic. 2 graduated ND and our youngest is still in school.
Neither of us are Catholic. We both went to public school in Calgary and with all the handcuffs on Christmas, Easter, the Lords Prayer etc we did not went our kids subjected to such a system that puts Christianity on the sidelines completely.
I have no statistics at hand to back this up but I recall fights/ gangs and all that BS that frequently occurs in or around schools but I can honestly say that seemed to be dramatically reduced especially at the Elementary and Jr High level at their Catholic Schools.
