The other way 'round?

In the Notebook section of a recent number of the London Tablet, there is a brief note about Amanda Knox and her having used her time in prison to learn about Christianity from the Catholic chaplain there. The chaplain commented: Amanda is not a Catholic. She didnt know anything about Christianity, but I found her open and very intelligent. I would say that she was seeking the truth. The author of the note had a curious, poorly written sentence: Despite her apparent ignorance about Christianity, she had attended a private Jesuit high school in Seattle. Shouldnt that be the other way around: Despite having attended a private Jesuit high school in Seattle, she knew nothing about Christianity?
