This is hard to read.  I grew up in the Burgh.  But perhaps the seeds of what we are seeing today started back in the 60's when I was going through Catholic grade school -- a nightmare back then,  is how I remember it.  Very heavy handed, lots of punishment, fear-based "education."  I recall thinking it would be a miracle if any of my classmates turned out to be Catholic after that experience.  Are we harvesting what was planted?
