I would like some advise
#15
RE: I would like some advise
Welcome to the forum! Woof!

My wife is also catholic, cafeteria style (similar to your wife if I read that correctly), she picks and chooses which parts she wants to live with.

Never had any direct connection with catholic schools so I have no clue about their religious curriculum or their requirements from students/parents and church involvement. Kids protesting abortion clinics sounds a little radical, even for catholic's. Personally that would put up a big red flag for me. I sure as hell would want to know exactly what they are being told in class/school. Care to expand on the "heated discussion" comment?

13 is when I started asking, not my parents, but the pastors at our lutheran (watered down catholic) church. I distinctly remember a frustrated youth pastor response of "stop asking me, there is no good answer, just do and believe as I tell you". Guess who left the church at 13.

If you're tied into the c. school as the only acceptable source of education you might be stuck. Like I said, I have no experience with c. schools. If you have honest open religious discussions with your son and he takes your part of the discussion back to school will that cause problems? You may have to temper your discussions with the kids and keep your responses generic. (i.e., I believe something different..., not flat out there is no god)

Are there other non catholic parents with kids at this school? Could be a resource. 

What is your wife's position on this? Does you son understand that there are different religions with different "beliefs and traditions" that are acceptable in our society?

If you don't let him come to his own conclusion are you any better than the school/church?

I know, I know, not much help.

Best of luck.
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.
