No I don’t by the grace of God. My father was planning on putting us kids in a Catholic boarding school before I started 5th grade. I looked it up in the encyclopedia and closed it up and said “There’s going to be trouble & I’ll get beat because I’ll never go along with their theology”. Plans got changed & didn’t have to go to one. But heard from other girls my age how the nuns liked to slap their hands with rulers, said they were really mean.

@cherokeepatti some were. frustrated they went and took a vow to give up sex while they were still virgins.

@kentex35 Could be but the priests were a lot meaner. And they’d rape children, it was common I’m sure of that. So much coming out now about it. They’ve found cemeteries with Native children buried that were forced into boarding school homes, dead from being abused.
