Doesn't surprise me. Was sent to catholic schools, as a non-catholic, for a "better education". The only thing I learned from them is fortitude. No they were not going to tell me anything unless they were willing to say more than 'because I said so'. Would not give me a recommendation for a non-catholic hospital school of nursing. Got kicked out, my parents made me grovel to get back in. I did with them standing over my shoulder when I wrote the letter. And of course the favorite was "you're going to hell with your father".
My mother was catholic, he was not. That was the 50s
The 50s was an appalling decade I'm told.. I was only 9 months old when it ended..
A rather odd story for you.. I was working for business owned by a family of Orthodox Jews.. The founder, Dr. Fisher, was very curious as to what brand of Christianity I subscribed to... I eventually broke down and told him "The Church of England" to which he replied "Oh.. that explains it."
But I could never get him to tell me what exactly, it explained. 🤔
But if you want to feel better about your schooling, read Peter de Rosa's "Vicars of Christ".. His description of the death of Alexander VI, the most corrupt pope in history, is delightfully revolting! 😇
