“They [teachers] beat it right out of me. Or they beat it into me and educated it out of me. I don't know; that's an interesting question.

“I'm an ex-Catholic priest. I have such a complex relationship to Catholicism. On the one hand, if I called myself a Catholic it would have to be a very unorthodox one, as I just don't believe all of the teachings of the Church. But on the other hand, I'm an educated man because the Catholic Church educated me. It gave me something that is really important to me. So I always think about my faith. I always have it, and sometimes I can't talk about it, and sometimes I can. I am like an adolescent in that way. Teens are asking questions: who is God and what does it mean to have faith?” ThinkingMenBelieveMeanImportantSometimesChurchTeachingCatholicEducatedCatholicismHave Faith Author:Benjamin Alire Saenz
“In the south of India, they educated girls. Three things came together in southern India that are unbelievably coincidental. There, the local Maharajas believed in education for everybody. The Syrian Catholic Church built schools for boys and girls. And then the Communist party, which took over politics for a period of time, had very strong social policies that benefited women. As a result, girls got into school. It was the first part of the country where towns could claim to be 100 percent literate. And so there, you're going to have a sex ratio at birth that's normal.” CountrySchoolTogetherGirlStrongChurchPartyBoysPolicyBirthCatholicEducatedCommunistSouthernVery StrongBoy And Girl Author:Barbara Crossette
