I didn't stick with it longer because...

1) In Nowhere, Indiana, where I grew up, there is only a grade school Catholic school.

2) I would have probably been booted. I didn't like it. All my friends went elsewhere.

3) My "Family" did not practice. My dad was Catholic but didn't practive anymore and mom wasn't Catholic (I'm pretty sure I went to the Catholic school to make grandmaw happy). I went to church every Sunday, alone, for 6 years. And only because the school said I had too.



Anyway...Now that I think back. I just find it odd that we didn't really "Study" the bible. It seems, now, that the school was more interested in teaching Catholic Doctrin. I guess??

It is odd considering the Catholic Church teaches and has always taught that Sacred Scripture is the inerrant word of God and the catechism specifically references and quotes Sacred Scripture.

At best I would suggest you require more study before you can speak intelligiently about the Catholic faith versus just speaking about your unique experience.
