[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We were definitely not Catholic - my son hadn't stepped foot in a church in at least 10 years. Aside from the day they get off school to go to an anti-abortion protest every year, it wasn't an issue. I told my son if he knocks some girl up by accident, he absolutely should consider abortion but go and learn how to protest. The other thing is - he had a religion class each year that made literally no sense. I'm comfortable with religious-speak, but it was bonkers. I told him to figure out what the answer is and just to repeat it, ignoring whether it made any rational sense. [/quote]

Say more about the religious classes please. Also, I love that you said that to your son![/quote]
DP. Definitely look up the required religion classes. [b]We considered O’Connell but having to take religion classes focused on Catholicism every semester was a dealbreaker. DC is dyslexic, so there was no reason to have to put so much reading and writing effort into a core class outside of our family’s beliefs and values. [/b]

O’Connell’s religion requirements (two 1-semester classes per year):
9th - Jesus in Scripture / The Old Testament
10th - Jesus the Redeemer / The Church
11th - Sacraments / Morality 
12th - choice of two: Living as a Disciple of Christ / The Church in the 21st Century / Sharing the Faith in the World Today / Witnessing the Gospel / Theology of the Body
