Because I refuse to take part in a Mass that, if the newsletters from the Daughters of Wisdom are anything to go by, will have nothing to do with worshipping God or His saints - but will include worship to "Sophia," apparently a female deity that these women cooked up for themselves. If the education your children are getting includes adequate exposure to science, maths, the history of Ireland, the British Isles, and the rest of the world, a modern foreign language, a classical language (Latin!!), and a solid grounding in both English and Gaelic language and literature - and with Seamus Heaney in the mix, I can't conceive that this last requirement isn't being met in spades - I think you are on admirably solid ground, and your children will be able to more than hold their own in any university they may choose to attend. PS: For a modern foreign language, I'd suggest Italian - I'm not sure you'd want to send them to university anywhere else. Certainly not in the USA, where I live. Not even to a Catholic university in the USA.Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10538925473636719361noreply@blogger.com
