Yay for this not being a Catholic school!

I think it fits in very well with the Catholic teaching, whereby many things that are not written in the Bible are taught as being true, and just as many things that are written, are not meant to be true. Just like Noah's Ark. It's a myth like unicorns. And just because the unicorn is not mentioned in the Bible, does not mean it didn't exist!

Although, are unicorns mythological? I can' think of any cultures or religions from which they are derived...

Don't you know? Unicorns are in the fairies' bible;-). (no typo error, I do have a mole right there).

I remember playing a game where the first person in a row of people whisper into the ear of the next a secret message. The this person will whisper it to the next. When the last person is asked to reveal the secret, it is totally incorrect. So, since most stories of days gone by are passed on by words of mouth, and then there are those who like to elaborate while others like to add and still others like to... You figure that out.
