The Catholic Church refers to the main Christian body of believers following the teachings of Jesus Christ. The Catholic Church is made up of laity and clergy. The clergy are ministers ordained through Apostolic succession (successive ordination of ministers since the time of the apostles). The are three types of ordination: Bishop, Priest, and Deacon. The bishop is the 'local ordinary' of an area of the Church (e.g. Philadelphia). The priests are the bishops aids in the church and the deacons assist the priests. The Catholic Church is very vocal in it's opposition to contraception, abortion, non-marital sexual behavior and unbridaled consumerism. It claims as it's source of revelation the Old and New Testaments and Sacred Tradition, guided through the interpretation of the magisterium. Many false teachings have been promulgated in an attempt to destroy the Catholic Church. Included in these are: the nature of the Crusades, the actions of Pope Pius XII during WWII, that Jesus had children and the Church is trying to cover it up, and many more. To learn more about the Catholic Church seek out the Catechism of the Catholic Church or a number of other books widely available.

Get the Catholent mug.Home to many of the typical high school social classes&nuns who can't teach for their life.
-Preps- the most common (it IS a Catholic school, isn't it?). People who belong to this are: cheerleaders who think they're all that, but really can't do a hurkey; football players, who haven't won a game in the past ten years; and the (very annoying) smart kids.
-The oh-so-fake emo group. There aren't many of them, but theys wear as much eyeliner as they can&pretend to not give a crap about their grades.
- Thought it's a Catholic school, there are more gays than in NYC; parents send their kids there as "punishment" for their "sexual lifestyle" &the kids who think they're normal, but are super-annoying& don't leave the REAL normal people alone. (See stage 5 clinger)
-Freshmen: Babies who don't know how to walk in hallways. There's that group of freshmen who think they're hotter than anyone else, challenging the upper-classmen in volume levels, grades & even dating them.
-Sophomores: Obviously survived Freshmen year, so they think that entitles them to be the "Coolest Kids in School" and trample anyone in their path. Most obnoxious & dread actual work, like to complain.
-Juniors: Actually are serious about grades- they have college coming up. Suck-up to teachers, and try to flirt with the hot ones, which Kennedy has maybe two- visit their favorite teachers daily.
-Seniors: Can't wait to get out. The idiots flirt with the ditzy freshmen cheerleaders. Generally keep to themselves,.
