My grandma in the 30s had to hide all evidence of menstruation from just one of her two younger brothers, the explanation being he was intended for the priesthood. I'm not saying it makes sense.

In what denomination do priests not know what menstruation is?

This was Catholicism. He's a smart guy and I'm pretty sure he figured it out. Did not become a priest, though, so maybe his mom was right.

I went to a catholic school in the 80s/90s. I’m fairly certain we were taught about anatomy and human reproduction. We knew what menstruation was.
