[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I feel like the Heights boys are more varied- meaning lots of different interest compared to Mater Dei.

Her child wasn't accepted to the Heights[/quote]

Sorry, but no. DS is at another HS that gets a few students from both. [/quote]

Are the Heights boys' parents over the top conservative?  Ultra religious? Pious? -- compared to the Mater Dei parents?[/quote]

Yes. Super conservative [/quote]

Extremely so. Not even mainstream Roman Catholic in many respects.  [/quote]

Can you specify how they differ from mainstream Roman Catholicism? [/quote]

They go to Church weekly, they can do confession every day and my kids did confession 2x a week minimum mostly to get out of library.

They will talk about abortion to elementary school kids.
They don't think boys should date so no dances, none in middle school or high school. I think there is a "prom"  (we left before that).
They tell the boys mastr.... tion is evil and wrong.
They teach that the bible says women are silent in church and something about being submissive.

I can't remember all the things that made me take pause but I was like "whatever" go to the White Party and St E's dances. I also told them that I disagree with many of the things they taught.

My son was told not to bring up rape during the abortion discussion because some kids were too young to understand that. LOL. Like, what?

But there are positives to conservatism. Like when there is a fight it's not big deal, no parents are called, they just work it out.[/quote]

Wow just wow.

Who in their right mind wants this for education?

Meanwhile some of these same parents are appauled at sex ed in public school. Amazing.

That you truly cannot fathom that people sincerely hold these views does not you a smarter or superior person.[/quote]

I don’t know anybody who truly thinks it’s healthy to tell boys to not mast… bate.[/quote]

How many practicing Catholics do you know?[/quote]
