[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, seriously you just wrote that you want your kids to attend Catholic school because it’s close to your house?

It is a religion. The people that run those schools, participate in the parish life, give and fund the school in part, all the teachers, are there to raise and teach ALL the children the Catholic faith.

You’re okay with your child doing “prayer hands” every time they walk down the hall? Kneeling and praying and placing a flower at Mary’s statue on her day?  Your child being “sprinkled” with holy water on some feast days as the priest chants a prayer?  Lighting candles and placing them at the altar to honor all the children who have died in abortions?  These are just examples off the top of my head from my kids school. K , 3 and 7.

It is not a public school where they go to a religion class like an art class and your ignorance of this is what is making us Catholics a little crazy here.

Classic case of Catholic intolerance of others.  [/quote]

I am Catholic and think PP is nuts. All are welcomed at our school. I hope everyone would feel comfortable. I understand why some would not want to attend because the religion aspect is woven in to all parts of school. But a huge part of the reason I am sending my children to Catholic school is to learn how to be good people and the virtues that are reinforced in the school. I hope my kids come out of the school very tolerant of other religions, because that is certainly how I feel.[/quote]
