It's a pretty disturbing comment on Catholic education in this country when young Catholics actually have to leave the Church in order to get basic Scriptural instruction.

Welcome back. I'm sorry you ever had to leave.

I am sorry I left too... I missed so much... and I regret not seeing all the cool things our Holy Father did in the 80s.

But I have to say it was more my parents than the Catholic Education.(not to say Catholic Education doesn't need improvement)

My Mom (who is a nominal Catholic) married my Dad (who does not practice anything)

The only prayers we did were grace before meals... and we never read the Scriptures... I remember being a teenager and looking up John 3:16 after watching NFL Football on TV with my dad because of one of those signs in the stands.

That probably was the first time I had opened the Bible.
