Catholic here, born and raised. Catholic schools all the way up to 2 years of college at a Catholic College! Hubby too, except college years. Fast forward to now, and we decided to send our girls to our area's excellent public school system (and haven't regretted that decision, not once). They attend religion classes at our local Catholic Church. Got all that?

I liked the schools I attended, I just didn't want my girls to have that rigid, one sided view of the world. And it's worked. They have friends from all religions, something I never had. I think they'll be better off. Our Pastor wouldn't agree with that opinion though. LOL
Still proud to be Catholic but the past few years it's been difficult to feel that way at times.
