[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was very close to sending non-religious DCs to catholic school to take advantage of the affordable price and traditional pedagogical approach. I was worried I was putting my emotional instincts above the immediate needs of my kids.

So grateful I stayed strong. It would feel like doing a farming internship on a plantation. I don’t want my kids literally walking the same halls as generations of pedophiles and their victims. I later learned that the school we would have chosen was one of the institutions where priests “tagged” little boys with gifted necklaces so other priests would know they were vulnerable. [/quote]

The number of alleged offenders, even over decades, is a minuscule percentage of the huge number of dedicated, self-sacrificing people who have worked in Catholic schools. Every victim is a tragedy, but the number of alleged victims is minuscule compared to all the people who received and benefitted from a parochial education.

Reducing Catholic education to “generations of pedophiles and their victims” is raw, unfair calumny. [/quote]
