13. We weren't silent, either

But we could not even get the teacher to say that a child below the 'age of reason' (we were taught that was 7), a child so young that they could not sin, would not be responsible for her rape.

But by that age, I was pretty used to being told things that were not true. Two of my father's uncles were priests (one of them a missionary bishop), and they often told me that the things the sisters in school taught us about religion were not correct catholic doctrine.

Of course, I eventually realized that I did not believe anything any church representative told me to believe.
