Many Catholic schools accept Muslim students, who can afford the tuition, while many Catholic students can’t. I have always refused to make a contribution to any Catholic school or college as long as there is ONE Muslim on campus.

Very un-Christian of me, huh? Then, so be it - my conscience is clear.

Dear 353FMG,

The high school that I attended some 30 years ago took students of every faith or non-faith. I don’t know if we had any Muslims back then. They probably do now.

However, I know we had Jews and other non-Christians.

All were required to take Religion and go to periodic mandatory Mass. The attitude of the school was and is, if you want to come to a Catholic school, then you'll just have to put up with daily prayer, Catholic religious education, and periodic mandatory attendance at Mass. If you don't like that, there are many other high schools nearby that'll take you.

The school remains predominantly Catholic and overwhelmingly Christian in its enrollment.

Do you see permitting some non-Catholics and a few non-Christians as an inexcusable crime... or as a chance for evangelization?
