Attending a PRIVATE/CHURCH school is NOT critical to "everyday living." Are there no GOVT schools where they live? I am CERTAIN there are. The govt ensures that the child can go there. There is no RIGHT to go to a PRIVATE/CHURCH school any more than there is a REQUIREMENT of it.
On the other hand, my Catholic sister-in-law mentioned the same thing as was mentioned in an earlier post: that the Catholic classroom may be the ONLY place where the child would get the TRUTH about God's prohibition of and disdain for homosexuality. Unfortunately, with so many homosexual Priests, however, it's kind of hard to avoid the appearance of the Catholic Church being hypocritical.
