i did not know i had 2 catholic students

i did not know i had 2 catholic students until i asked their classroom teacher why they did not come with the rest of the students that meet with me on wednesday. she said they were excused that day due to attending mass. I find it interesting that catholics would send their kids to our school or they be accepted given our church's view on catholicism. Theres a catholic k through 8th and a catholic high school in the large city nearby.

Well i am catholic and we accept all faiths at our schools maybe you should just be respectful of them most Catholics i know have a great respect for the mennonites and the amish. Just because we worship in different ways it is the same God. The biggest difference is adult baptism vs child baptism. The reasons why Catholics practice child baptism is because baptism, it is a free gift from God. This gift should be open to all Christians from birth onward. Catholics have what is known as confirmation where a young adult accepts the faith and then takes on the responsibilities of their faith.

Good luck i hope both faiths can appreciate the unique difference and learn from each other.
