[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not Carholic, and I went to Catholic schools my whole life. In HS, they will have religion class and will be required to attend mass. If it's Gonzaga, they have some faith based retreats and students are very involved in faith based community service. 
They won't ask during application process. 
I didn't learn that they Bible isn't literally true and that we come from apes until college though. It was quite a shock. They do brainwash a bit,IMO. [/quote]

Catholics don't believe that the Bible is literally true and Catholics believe in evolution.  Kind of one of the biggest differences between some Protestants and Catholics actually.  I think you went to an evangelical Christian school.  They do seem all alike to atheists, but actually there are quite a few differences.  There are plenty of websites/youtube videos on Sola scriptura Protestants vs. Catholics if anyone want to make sure they won't be doing art projects with cavemen riding dinosaurs at Catholic school.

[b]Our non Catholic son is not required to take religion class (in middle or high school) and he is not required to attend mass. [/b] He is invited to participate in both, but it is his choice whether or not to participate.  I think Catholic schools vary a great deal on how they approach students with other faiths.  Please don't generalize your experience to all schools.[/quote]

Really?  Which school?[/quote]
