Why should we teach middle school kids about Apostolic succession, Fathers and Doctors of the Church, the Saints and Scripture? Seriously, why bother teaching children any history of the Church established by Jesus Christ. Two millennia of truth is nothing but minutia to these kids anyway. Let's teach them moral relativism since that appears to be the norm here and now.
Thank you Smedley. You hit the nail on the head. Last night I was just kind of defeated because this nun kept repeating " they have to know Jesus is their friend" and pap like that. The Latin Mass was kind of a reflex action on my part (and I'm sure the other mothers thought I was nuts as well) but as I outlined to Sinkspur a few posts ago, the Latin Mass should be a part of a whole Catholic education, IMO.
