I attended a Connecticut Catholic grammar school in the 1950s and neither Freud nor Kinsey were tolerated in ANY curriculum. John Dewey had no influence either. In those days before there was tuition in the Catholic schools our relatively liberal pastor preached that any parent sending children to public schools was IN MORTAL SIN since there could be no legitimate excuse for not sending one's kids to the parish school even for housing project parents in the absence of tuition.

No one says you have to be Catholic but I do wonder where some of these fantasies come from. Posting things that are patently untrue and likely outside your personal experience against a Faith very likely not your own is no way to build conservative or Christian solidarity for the struggle we are all in in the age of Obamamessiah and the Democommune known as the US Congress.

I attended Catholic schools all my life (including Catholic college). I collect books and have a book from Catholic grade school in 1955. I also have the 1909 McGuffey Readers which were used in public schools prior to the progressive era and mentions God all the time (no separation of God and state, huh, since we were founded under God). The Catholic book is revised from a public school book...identical except it refers to God and Jesus Christ several times.

My ideas have been garnered from extensive reading on the Progressive Era and especially The Closing of the American Mind by Bloom which explains the Post Modern German Philosophy (progressive) that was dominate in Europe in the late 1800’s and came here to the states by 1910....or so. The philosophy is in direct conflict with John Locke and Nature’s Law, Rousseau’s individualism, and Montesquieu’s separation of powers.

My point is that the reason the United States is NOT as atheistic, nihilistic and immoral ss Europe is now and was in the early 1900’s (that led to Weimar Republic, Mussolini’s Italy and Lenin is because of the strong Judeo Christian influence which the progressives had a much harder time destroying here in the states especially because of our unique system of government.

I’m not saying that all of the Founder’s philosophy has been destroyed, the tea parties are proof that it is not, but there is proof (Zero) that the progressives have the upper hand in this nation right now. True Christians (not progressives) need to recognize the ideas that are destroying this great nation so that we can take it back. (BTW, Notre Dame is a perfect example of progressives corrupting a Catholic institution). You can’t tell me that they advocate Christian thought when they entertain the devil and hold him up to esteem, as well as, promoting the Vagina monologues’ filth.

Also....the German philosopher Freud's (atheist) sexual obsessions were taught in my high school and it was a small- town Catholic school. The homosexualist Albert Kinsey's sick atheistic, progressive ideas were on the best sellers list around 1950 in the infamous The Kinsey Report which was compiled by using young children sexually abused by pedophiles and prisoners. Kinsey intentionally wanted to separate any morality from sex.....esp. validating homosexuality and child sex. His ideas infiltrated into the schools because it became part of popular culture. Everyone should read this....I have great respect for Reisman's research... http://www.drjudithreisman.com/archives/Pulpit%20Sex2.pdf
