[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][i]Mission of the ADW schools: Our mission is to educate all students in a Christian environment, welcoming children of all faiths. We promote the value of the individual while encouraging mutual respect through our Catholic faith and traditions. [/i]

For some reason you are hell bent on sending an unwelcoming message from Catholic schools to those on this website, not sure why. But your view is yours alone. [/quote]

You don't spend much time with the alumni of these independent Catholic schools depending instead on position papers from the Bishops.

The piece from O'Connell was obviously written to address concerns being raised by the majority and to defend the practice of admitting non-Catholics. If people weren't complaining or asking questions there would have been no reason to write it. So maybe I'm not alone in the world.[/quote]

Interesting logic.  So we should infer that a majority of faithful Catholics believe the *the opposite* of Catholic teaching as reflected in official Catholic publications . . . because otherwise there'd be no need for them to be written? (Not that such a misguided majority's opinion would be persuasive, anyway.)  And that other confused "Catholics"/alumni like yourself better reflect Church teaching and the mission of Catholic education than what the Church says itself?  Come on.  Please stop claiming to speak for the Church and Catholic education when you obviously missed the essentials of Church teaching and dishonor the legacy of Catholic education with every hypocritical statement you make.  And you accuse others of using Catholic schools for the wrong reasons!?!  All you can rightly claim is that you are part of a very small, unhappy, anachronistic group who once attended these schools . . . maybe you're not alone in the world, but you're in very pitiful company.

+100.

By the way, I spend a lot of time with alumni, current parents, current students, AND I am informed on official Church teaching and publications . . . I am pretty sure you can't say the same.[/quote][/quote]
