I am also a teacher and have been Catholic and have been in Catholic schools. Have courage, in my opinion at the heart of being a teacher is your responsibility to educate, if you stop learning yourself then forget it! The fact that you have recognised what the Catholic church actually is can only be a great leap forward. It's important for you (and your pupils) that you don't simply spew the stuff that you have been asked to, but that you actually think! I suspect you may find a Catholic school a little hard to bear if you truly have lost your faith, but it's ok, you're not alone.
Best wishes

Appreciated. Thank you

Dude, I don't know what you're talking about, I've never had a problem with any of your posts.

You'll regret it...

Ha, first time I came on here drunk I PM'd as many people as I could declaring my love for them. That was an awkward morning after, looking at all the replies.

Moncrieff, (can I call you Moncrieff?) Your apologies here are understood but unnecessary. This is a community. What happened yesterday is what was supposed to happen. (Except the part where you PM'ed me all of your personal information Big Grin <--edit, poe safeguard) You acted with personal integrity and I for one am impressed with what little I do know about you. I was able to empathize with you, and for that you did me a service.

So---head up, move forward with pride. So much positive can come from this. You know that feeling you have when you are really low and your loved ones come and support the living shit out of you? Sounds like that happened yesterday with your wife. I know from experience that that is one of the best things in the whole world. Experiences like this being you so much closer to family. I hope that's the case for you.

No apology necessary, my friend.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

It's how we all feel Moncrieff.

No apology necessary. You sound like a fabulous educator, all my hopes for a bright future for you. Heart
