[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to a Catholic Jesuit high school, Pius, it had all the affinity clubs and everyone got along fine. Its mantra was to approach others with compassion, grace and seek understanding and commonality of mankind. 
It also had fantastic science classes.

I don’t know if Op is serious or a troll or just trying to get people to slam up their negative mass media Catholic stereotypes.  Most people in this country didn’t even take a Great Religions class in high school or college.

OP here: I am not a troll. I am very serious about considering these schools, but I have attended individuals Catholic Church whose focus was social justice oriented and have all sorts of people in the ranks. I’ve also attended (one time)  a church  that denigrate people from the pulpit. The Catholic Church is not monolithic, and assuming the culture is open, acceptance is valued, bullying is not tolerated, etc., we really like what Catholic schools have to offer re: religious education, community, class size, and sports etc. I’ve seen many examples in practice where the Church members (and in this case I’m asking about students, faculty, parents) are far more open in thought/opinions/values/practice that what strict Church  doctrine says. That’s what I’m trying to tease out. [/quote]
