Why send her to a Catholic School?
Why does everyone automatically assume that a child will be doing communion when they go into 2nd class?
My daughter is attending a Catholic ethos school but we have opted out of communion along with several others parents. But every adult as soon as they hear my daughter is in 2nd class automatically assumes they will be 'enjoying' communion and then they look so glum when we tell them she wont be. It's not fair on our child.
This is 2012! Maybe just maybe some people have realised that the Roman Catholic Church does not put children's interests first and is a disfunctional organisation (I am being nice) and should possibly be avoided...
What are you asking the question now, and not 4 years ago when you chose to put your child into that school ? The Catholic ethos and the time taken in second and sixth classes, to prepare the children for the scarament, were known then and implicitly agreed to by you.
Its not the school - the school and teachers are fine. Quite a number of kids opting out for whatever reason.
I am talking about the general public continuing to think that communion is a given despite what the RCC have done, and continue to do.
Was your child baptised? I doubt people are that shocked to be honest. They just made an assumption that proved to be incorrect. Are you saying people abused you or treated you or your child differently?
Not baptised.
Was there much difficulty getting your child into a RC school?
you could always opt to live in a non catholic country, but is it really worth the bother! everything passes given enough time.
Perhaps in 20-30 years time parents asking their children to eat the body and blood of a 2000 year old zombie might be the exception rather than the rule.
