There were only a few nuns left by the time I got to my school.

Ah not that full on.
State school, prayers 4 times a day, mass on Fridays, school pilgrimages to Wales...

Mine was a state school.
Although I am probably of a generation where the teaching qualification were less important than someones commitment to the church.

Ma was educated by nuns, in a convent and all.

They could be quite violent.
A strange breed, your average nun.

Religion and celibacy will do that to a person.
I don't get many of the aspects of Catholicism.

No.
But then I've of the opinion that no parent has any right to choose a childs religion.

Having had catholisim forced on me as a child, and with me being an overly committed atheist, I'm annoyed that I was forced to waste Sunday mornings in mass.

Mine got me baptised and I made my Communion
but after that they said it was up to me, because they'd stopped going to church and I went with my nana. I stopped when I was 10/11.
I asked why they took it that far when they weren't religious themselves and my mum said "Just in case..." like it was insurance for my soul!
My dad used to whisper in my ear about the Vatican playing the stockmarket with what we'd just put in the collection plate.

My folks still go.
I was put through both primary and secondary education and was confirmed.

Any idea how I get excommunicated?

I didn't get confirmed.
Nana goes but she's dead cool and knows that half of the shit the Pope spouts about condoms and 'oh I didn't know there were paedos' and the homophobia is balls.

My folks like to 'believe the bits that appeal to them'
They don't even get any comfort from their belief, it's more of a social club to them (I think).
