There was a ****HUGE**** difference between the lukewarm and generic pap offered to the government schooled youth and that found in the Catholic schools. OurChristian faith was interwoven into every aspect of the curriculum.
In government school there was a nod to God in the morning and then non-stop secularism until I finished my homework and went to bed.
Just to give one very tiny example:
When a fire or police car alarm was heard, the nun would pause and the entire class would pray for the safety of the people involved in the incident causing the alarm. ....So sweet, now that I remember it.
What does Jesus do to the lukewarm? He spits them out of his mouth.
I would have loved to attend a Christian religious school. So happy to hear what a wonderful experience it was for you.
