Subject: RE: BS: The Pope in America
That is a very good point indeed, Kevin, and one I should have thought of. I was brought up in a very religious way and have now reasoned differently. However, it did take an awful long time and my early life was marred by it. I do concede that religious education, certainly in local Catholic schools, is now a far dry from what it was in the 50's and 60's. I still think it is unforgivable to teach children that God and/or creationism is an absolute truth though. Teaching them that Father Christmas exists is only a minor sin though... :-)
