I was in my youth in the catholic system attending all the catholic schools, twas funny realy being a church goer in the very early days, and the confession on the saturday.
in that dark booth, It was harder to remember how many hail mary's and our fathers to say rather than what I had done in the first place!!!!
never understood as a child why they did all the mass in latin, didnt understand a word of it.
They learnt tho and reverted to english.
as grievsy and ian st john say
" its a funny old game "

That brings back memories Keith. I attended a Catholic convent school where my psychic abilities certainly weren't encouraged. My classmates called me a witch and turned crucifixes upside down or tried to spin their heads around like the Exorcist. In junior school I was taught by nuns and priests, the nuns would poke me in the arm, I often went home covered in bruises. My parents weren't the only ones who complained to the school. It didn't help that when we had to attend mass (Latin) at the local church instead of assembly on Thursday mornings that I was always sick. I'm talking projectile vomiting every time I entered the church! Thankfully I grew out of it and though I don't go to church on a regular basis now I'll often wander into one I like the look of regardless of denomination.

Funny its not till you leave school that you chat to people who hav e also been through the catholic system, I havn't found many who have a good word for it
Well I have a good word, but not one that can be posted!!!!
I couldn't wait to get out,
bullying went on, (and that was just the nuns!!)
had nearly all nun teachers (well that was the titlle they were given!!!!!!!
only found 1 nice nun in all of them!!!!
