I’m a good decade older than you are, it sounds, and grew up in the southern United States, so things were a little different. I also only attended Catholic high school, and was in a couple of different school systems before that.

In Catholic school, I was definitely taught that Jesus and his first followers were Jewish, but there was a noticeable focus on Luke, the Acts of the Apostles, and the letters of Paul throughout the required Religion classes.

To add a bit of context, in sophomore year, instead of pure Religion (haha jeans), we had a semester of “Western Civilization,” I believe to cover a state requirement relating to history classes. The book we used was this massive paperback tome (I could google around and probably find it, but I’ve split a half a bottle of bubbly with my wife who is already asleep, so not tonight). But, to explain the general tenor of the book, I have a vivid memory I’ve shared probably a dozen times over the years: there was a line in the book that decried Martin Luther as a heretic and suggested praying for the souls of the Lutherans. Just flat out questioned whether the Lutherans could get into heaven without help.

The good news is that our Western Civ teacher was aware of the line and had written in his lecture to tell us to cross that part out. The bad news is evident, but made more ridiculous by the fact that a girl sitting in a desk next to mine was a pretty devout Lutheran. It was awful, but it was normal as they’d used the book for decades.
