I’m a Christian, I really need the money, but they offered me a job a Catholic private school, what to do?

I’ve been working as a private teacher for a while, I teach Spanish and Japanese as a second language. Things had been great, so great I’m starting a bsuiness. It looks like my business is going to eventually make me some good money, but for now I’m broke. I really need money.

Someone must’ve referenced me, out of nowhere, I got a call from a school offering me a teaching job.

I said YES, but they told me that tomorrow I had to go talk to some sister. I then I began to remember I once went to that school.

It’s all full of saints and Catholic images. I’m a Methodist, I just wouldn’t be comfortable there, and I really don’t want to have to tell my pastor I’m working at a Catholic private school.

On one hand, I need the money, on the other hand I wouldn’t be comfortable there.

What should I do?

Let’s look at this situation practically, a job is a job and you need the money. Secondly, God is neither Christian not Catholic and his message in any religion is the same. But if youi really think that the catholic icons throughout the school would distrub you that much then don’t take the job. I am sure that something else will come up.

If you’re not going to be comfortable there then don’t take the job. The number one thing you should be there for is to teach the kids, and if you’re heart isn’t in it that walk away now.

I’m a little confused how you could have forgotten that you once went to school there. Seems a little fishy to me…

I am a graduate of Catholic school, and the number one thing my religion teacher drove into our heads was that we are Christians. Christian first, Catholic second. I am always miffed by people who say they are a Christian as if I am not. That being said, I think that if you were teaching foreign languages you would have little do to with the religion aspect of the school. The worst is maybe having to go to church once a week with the school. If they even do that. Best of luck with your decision!

I am confused.

Why would someone who goes to churches named like:

+ Saint Mark United Methodist Church

+ Saint Paul United Methodist Church

+ Saint John’s United Methodist Church

+ Saint Luke’s United Methodist Church

+ Saint Andrew’s United Methodist Church

+ Saint James United Methodist Church

+ Saint Barnabas United Methodist Church

be worried about a statue of Saint Mark, Saint Paul, Saint John, Saint Luke, Saint Andrew, Saint James, or Saint Barnabas sitting around?

With love in Christ.

Do what you feel is right in the eyes of God. He’ll take care of everything else. He promised.

Of course this could be a great opportunity for you to do Great things for the Lord, but only God can answer that.

i don’t see why that would be a problem, i know of a catholic school and at least one of the teachers is Mormon so it shouldn’t matter if you are not catholic i mean its not like your going to be teaching religion.

This is my oppinion on Catholisicm. Its moslty dogma. I could never support a Cathloc Church, unless it was a chairity. I would reccomend praying about the situation, God knows a lot better then any of us.

If you are really that put off by the thought of being around Catholics, you certainly don’t want to hear anything I may have to say.
