It’s oddly convenient that all the ex-Catholics have this same background where the Nun magically ‘snatched the bible away’.
I’m sorry, I just don’t believe that to be the case. I teach for a Catholic school. We have bibles available and I teach with them throughout. I’m looking at the history and there’s no evidence of any concerted movement let alone nuns removing books from the schools.
I’m sorry, I just don’t see evidence that supports your observations.
There were no such things as graduation back then in Spain (I don't know how it is now, I've been gone 33 years) but there were some kind of celebrations at the end of the 12th grade. The day after I took my last test, I stayed home. Never set foot in my school again.
Sounds like your experience was different than mine.
I am quite comfortable in saying that my experience is probably the majority experience. Its common knowledge.
