I wasn’t valedictorian of my Catholic High School, but I was awarded the “Religion Award” my senior year.
I also worked in my church’s rectory throughout high school. Another type of “education.”
Lessons learned.
Discussion
My German Grandfather used to tell me he rolled around in poison ivy to avoid going to Catholic Primary School. If this were true, why would a little boy submit himself to soft skin torture to avoid an education?
Later in life, he found a Baptist Church with a wonderful preacher. When we visited my grandparents on the weekends, my mom would make sure we attended Catholic Mass & then we would get a taste of a protestant church service.
