When I entered my Catholic High School in 1972, the atmosphere celebrated our Catholicity … nuns in full habits all over the place, Priests teaching and in the hallways at all times, Mass & Confession offered frequently, images of Mary and the saints everywhere … especially in the Catechetical resource center … which was filled with the very best of Catholic literature.
In one year, most of the nuns left, while those who remained donned shorter skirts and stunted veils (and the veils were gone by my Senior year); we were left with one priest, we rarely got to see; Mass was offered only once a semester; Confession was nowhere to be found; many of the images of Mary and the Saints were removed; and the Catechetical resource center was completely emptied out and a few bean bag chairs were thrown in the middle of the empty room … the new name of the room became the “meditation room,” which for us meant the “take a nap” room.
It was as if the Church was under new management … Satan.
