I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.[/quote]

This is funny, and I had a good laugh. In all seriousness though, Catholic schools and Christian schools are not interchangeable. Catholic schools have been educating children in the US for a long time, have strong traditions and reputations, and are always accredited and, in the case of parochial schools, often have strong management and training provided by their archdiocese. People often know what they are getting in any given Catholic school, so if they want Catholic, they are not looking for a a school run by another Christian denomination. Many Christian schools are offshoots of one church or another and smaller ones often run un-accredited. Not to say you can’t find a good, accredited non-Catholic Christian school, but you do have to do your research and find out what they are about and who is running them. Many of them are much more conservative than Catholic schools, and teach a much more literal interpretation of the Bible that does not believe in evolution and science. Evolution and science do not conflict with Catholic teachings and are taught in our schools. [/quote]
