***If she worked in a Catholic school there would be generations of messed up children in dire need of therapy today.***
Er...um......I was taught by the Sisters of St. Joseph for twelve years and I can honestly say that NOT ONE of them was twisted. I wish I had been smart enough back then to have thanked them for all the wonderful lessons about life we learned. I appreciate them more every year I live, and I've lived plenty.
You gotta understand that grandma was born in 1909 and her dad was bornin the 1860s in Poland.
The archaic school of thought was not a good thing.
I attended a Catholic school for the first 2 1/2 years of high school and (although I became a good grades freak to the point of making myself sick - literally) they were the best years of my entire schooling as required by law. (College was better, of course, but I probably never would have gone if I hadn't learned what a brainiac I was at the Catholic school.)
I just have a number of issues that I need therapy for...due to ramdom acts of Catholicism. Just pick all of the most important things about the facts of life and Catholic teaching and such and skip a few definitions and miss a few important years so that you have about 23 pieces of the 100 piece puzzle and see how that can mess up your life...
IMHO it is all or nothing or consistency or something...not on again, off again.
IN retrospect, I do see where my brother was a chip off the ol' block...
Thanks,kitkat! I too can vouch for the nuns who taught me(Sisters of Mercy). They were wonderful. I always said that they were the best army of women God created!
