No, it was Church of England (as we thought of it). It surprised me later to find how similar the liturgy or something like it was to the Catholic.
We lived in the country, so all boys of a certain class were sent there. I remember the first night thinking, 'Can I kneel down by the bed and say my prayers here? Maybe not?' This is in a dormitory.
You know how people talk about an atmosphere in which there is trust and growth? It wasn't like that, not at all. The experience certainly affected everything for me.
>Do you think many boys boarding schools have similar cruelty and abuse?
Then they did. It is probably better now, idk. Some people coped better than others.
The orphanages would have been bad. A bit like in the Manifesto where he says, 'In proportion therefore as the repulsiveness of the work increases, the remuneration decreases'.
I've never known what to make of 'To him who has shall more be given, but to him who has not, even that which he has shall be taken away'.
