Thats a goodie…does your priest believe in God, has he ever read the bible, was not Jesus tempted by Satan in the desert…why is this man posing as a priest!!!

iv actually heard of preists who dont believe in hell or satan, and my teacher at my old catholic school gave us a speach on how hell is an old belief no one believes in any more. i was disgraced that our catholic school would hire such people. AND i had to sit by and listen to another teacher telling the class about how she did a course in religion and they told her mary wasnt a virgin!
and the other students were hanging off her every word, believing all her trash talk, thats what upset me! And then she went even further by promoting he da vinci code ! reminding you im talking about a catholic school here. AND! i couldnt believe it when i saw that the school let in a budist,(he was very smart) but thats not the point! Evry teacher st my old school st.bernards , either didnt really care about the catholic doctrine or was an atheist! this made me sick.(we had one faithful catholic teacher but i never got to know him that well). THANKYOU FOR LETTING ME GET ALL THIS STUFF OFF MY CHEST.

melbourne_guy,

Apparently a study has just been made showing that Catholic schools in Australia have monumentally FAILED to teach the Catholic faith. I am trying to get the details of this study.

As a teacher in a Catholic school I totally support everything you have said. The majority of the staff at my school give no evidence of being believing, mass going Catholics and take many opportunities to criticise the teachings of the Church. I know that they transmit these ideas to the students they teach because I hear them do it!

I am sure if a survey was done of teachers in Catholic schools the vast majority would deny the reality of Satan. What a bonus for him! How much more effective a saboteur can be if nobody knows he is around. Those who deny Satan’s reality are calling Our Blessed Lord a liar! I sure would not want to be in their shoes come judgement time!
