Actress Susan Sarandon got into trouble when she questioned the nuns about their religious teachings at her Catholic school.
The star, who played a nun in the film "Dead Man Walking", insists she was a very quiet kid, who was keen to please until she started taking issue with what she was being taught, reported Daily Star.
In a new TV interview with Oprah Winfrey, Sarandon said, "Certain things just didn't make sense to me and when I questioned, there was a problem. I remember them telling me that you couldn't be married unless you were married in the Catholic Church. And I asked how were Joseph and Mary married since Jesus didn't make it up till later. And I had to go stand in the hallway and that's when the trouble began - when I was in, like, third grade.
"I was told that I had an overabundance of original sin, but I was not trying to be wise. I just didn't understand why they would put babies in limbo just because they weren't baptised... Or why would (they) say every other religion was bad.
