One word... money. In order to raise money, to pay teachers and pay for physical plant costs, tuition money and donations must continue to flow. There are many liberal or non-Catholics who send their children to Catholic schools to take advantage the usually superior education. These families are easily offended by traditional Catholicism so accomodations are made to not be “too Catholic” Ask me how I know..

How do you know?
As far as the money aspect of things, is it really worth it, to water down the Catholic atmosphere of the school, just to raise money? IF it’s watered down so much that the school is more non-denominational, then what’s the point?
If the school can’t survive financially, maybe it’s for the best, if to survive financially, it can’t be an actual Catholic school anymore. Just a thought.
In other words, rich liberal Jews (in name only).
Probably the same way I do, I suspect. At this school, specifically, It was the tradition during the Christmas season to present tableaux, a special Drama event where elected students are assigned honored roles in the Nativity Celebration.
Followed up eventually when each graduating class had a special permanent honor prominently displayed listing the one Graduating student displaying the kindness, behavior, charitable and academic excellence defining the spirit of Catholic education.
By definition, that is no longer possible; Or evidently, desirable.
That, sadly, summarizes it all.
