"I tried and i cannot figure out your comment."

Jerry Pournelle (assuming you know who he is...one of the more famous science-fiction authors, and columnist for Byte magazine for many years) was taught in high school by the Christian Brothers. He ascribes the traits of character he learned from them as taking him from a budding juvenile delinquent to solid citizen.

So you're in good company if you were taught by them.

I have great respect for Catholic educators. They take the hard-to-teach, and teach them up to standards of the highest caliber.
