I, myself, am on record as being opposed to the RCC. So I can't help but wonder what this resentment is for, for a school, a private school which you were privileged to go to which your parents paid their money for you to go to?
One of my good friends is a teacher in a Christian school (not a Catholic school), and I am on record as saying to her, and to others, that I am opposed to the discriminatory employment practises of Christian and Catholic schools. And that's still my opinion.
So I'd love to know why you seem to resent being sent to a Catholic school?
And with that said ...
