If I could have afforded it at the time, I would have sent my children to a parochial school for the education, not the dogma.
If you believe that the Catholic Church teaches the Truth of Jesus Christ, then you'll understand that teaching one without the other is pointless. If you think that Catholic dogma is lies, why expose your child to it at all?

If you believe that the Catholic Church teaches the Truth of Jesus Christ, then you'll understand that teaching one without the other is pointless. If you think that Catholic dogma is lies, why expose your child to it at all?A fair question. Schools are for education. Many Catholic schools provide a better overall education that most public schools. I don't have to agree with all Catholic dogma (which has of course changed dramatically over the past couple of thousand years). No school is free of ideas and concepts completely acceptable to everyone. I always made it my point to know what was being taught to my children, and intervening when necessary at home with supplementary education. Churches are for dogma and moral teachings. Home is for moral exposure where a family is not church going, and schools are for education.
But I don't condemn or criticize anyone for their reasons for choosing or rejecting a Catholic school.
