Do you realize there is a certain historical irony in using a quote from Shakespeare there, given that it is likely that he was a secret Catholic who simply pretended to convert to Anglicanism when anti-Papist repression was at its peak, and then proclaimed his loyalty to the Church on his deathbed?

Not denying any of what you said about the history of the Church and what it did and probably still does to Children, just noting the inadvertent ambiguity in quoting the Bard of Avon on this.
