This was a very interesting post, Karen. One odd point: When I was in high school I was still a Catholic. The Catholics in my high school graduation class were threatened with excommunication if we attended our baccalaureate service, which was deemed to be a non-Catholic religious service. I attended. That was the end of Karen, the Catholic That correlates with my very early memories being raised Catholic, I recall the mother church being opposed to public school prayer in general because they weren't the "right" prayers. ( aside: I think my first memory of a real historical event is the death of Pius XII) . But I went through 12 years of Catholic school mostly in the warm afterglow of Vatican II, and in general my experience was a lot more laid back.. The nuns got pretty mellow by the time I was in high school, I think in the end they mostly left to become real people. I don't know what the mother church's position on public prayer is now. I hear that W is in trouble with some people for not being more deferential to the Pope on certain policy matters, but that's another story.
