Our local Catholic high school gets Catholic theology....I know because I take Bible study from the nun that teaches it. I know she is teaching it right. I hope at the high school level that they get more than the catechism, which is what my RCIA group is reviewing with our adult candidates. This is my first year on the team, so I am observing and learning what they teach there myself. I think adults should all go through a continuing education program. I highly recommend Bible studies for Catholics, too. We should never stop learning and growing in our faith.

Lest I forget, our priest teaches at my church’s Catholic school. He teaches 5th graders religion. I know they are getting it right there, too.

As you know things have changed. Having Sisters and Priests teach was important to a Catholic education. In the 80s when I was in Catholic HS they had a 50/50 balance of lay teachers and clergy. I received an alumi newsletter a few months ago to find out all of the front office is now lay folk.

I have to say the Sisters were awesome. I could not stand them at the time, but they had eyes in the back of their heads, took no garbage, and handed out discipline appropriately.
