Perhaps SINEAD O'CONNOR doesn't realize that rock 'n' roll, which she sings, is the devil's music, or that Roman Catholicism, in which she was recently ordained by a rebel sect, does not allow women in the clergy. Come to think of it, O'Connor doesn't seem to get this whole religion thing at all. Last week the woman who in 1992 tore up a picture of the Pope on Saturday Night Live became the first female priest in the Latin Tridentine Church, a Roman Catholic splinter group.

A morning announcement over the p.a. system reminds students of the importance of Lent, and tells them to pray to "the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit." And all students, Roman Catholic or not, must participate in Catholic prayer. "We're very up front about the fact that we have a formal religion class every day," says Sister Anne Maline, Metro Catholic's principal. "We pray every day, over the p.a. system and in church, and we ask the parents to sign...
