^i went to an all-girls catholic school, and here it means good education
Almost everywhere it seems. One of the smartest things the Catholic church ever did, and one of things I give it credit for (in addition to work on social justice), was investing early and often in education - and not just theology, but secular education in the arts, sciences, etc. There are a lot of very anti-intellectual churches out there but you can't accuse the Catholics of that, even though they have been anti-science on a few issues over their history.
Now if we could just get the Pope on board with homosexuality, marriage by the clergy, and condoms in Africa. Too bad the church sees these as moral issues and not scientific ones.
