[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son goes to a "very" Catholic, Catholic school.  Even there, the student body is about 75% Catholic and 25% other religions.

We are not Catholic and it hasn't been an issue at all.  In the interview, the school did ask us what Church we attended, but other than that, there was no discussion about religion by the admissions folks.  We did ask them questions about it, though.  We just wanted to be sure that our son would fit in and feel accepted.  If you are spiritual but not attending any church, you would probably not have a problem with it.  However, if you are atheist, I don't think that you'd enjoy the overall experience.

My son had mentioned that he may consider converting to Catholicism when he is an adult.  I told him that I would support any decision that he made in regard to his religion.  The school is not pushing that in any way, but[b] he is exposed to Catholic thought and doctrine in most of his classes.[/b][b]

If by that you mean they say a prayer to start class, yes.  After that, the science. math, etc aren't any different.  Catholic doctrine is constrained to Religion class and of course the overall mission.  [/quote]

That may be the case at your school.  Ours is different.  Don't get me wrong, I am thrilled with the school, the staff, the curriculum, and even the moral and spiritual aspects that the Church brings in to the school.  If I didn't like it, I could choose to send my child elsewhere.  There is no place I would rather have my kids.[/quote]
