Lots of Catholic schools are closing That's good for The State. It's bad for We the People.

Go back to nuns slapping you on the wrist with their rulers.
In the early 60s there were MANY more nuns than priests. The priest crisis is felt more acutely because of the centrality of Mass and Sacraments, but the religious sisters have been the arms and legs of the Church's Mission for a long time, serving as teachers and nurses (the crucial importance of contemplatives is another category).
The priesthood has been decimated, but the communities of Religious Women have been all but leveled. Most of the old orders are desolate and dying, and have largely become corrupted anyway. Some good new orders are suppressed. All are under the risk of an order from Rome ruining the lives of the heroic women who have this vocation to serve Christ.
Right now, lay women are filling in some of the gap. There will have to be real reform before we can rebuild what we had not so long ago. That reform will have to come from the prayers of men and women, and ultimately Christ himself. We are beyond a political solution or naturalistic solution.

*Considering they dismantled it because they were upset over the translation of the Lord’s Prayer* Just leave prayer out of it. It’s ammo for the left.
*Lots of Catholic schools are closing* We can turn it around.
*Yeah nuns used to hit people. Drove a lot of people out of Catholicism. Did much damage. What’s the improvement?* Answer: It moves the ball forward.
To: DIRTYSECRET
*Not a chance. Those still legitimately calling themselves Catholic did nothing about priest pedo (and now gay) for decades. They are sheep. Nothing more.*
At least people are talking about it. They’re being outed.
*Government-run schools absolutely have no place in a free nation.*
BINGO!
To: Alberta's Child
*The ultimate goal should be two-fold: (1) the elimination of compulsory education laws, and (2) the end of ALL government involvement in education.*
There is something to be said against compulsory education but the left will accuse us of what they do in keeping people down. I think parents will have more motivation to do the right thing. How many kids wake up not wanting to go? Parents care.
*Home Education.* Fine. Reward them for doing well.

Public schools had corporal punishment, too. Paddling was a thing. By the time I was going in the '70s, it was over, but the old stories kept a little fear of Mr. Paul (5th grade science), whom was known to pick up unruly boys by the hair. Mr. Parzial (5th grade math) could keep pace with a drill sergeant (minus the cussing). He died youngish of a heart attack.
The prep school I attended from 6th grade on had "light" corporal punishment. The 7th grade English teacher, Mr. Kelly, gave out "noogies".

young people prior to 1885 were allowed to write their own life script. Poor Felix would be labeled "trans" today.

I drove school buses to help pay for college.
It was WELL known that the worst schools were Jr HS AND Catholic schools.
In many cases the Catholic girls were the very worst.
The company warned us about this and it was very true.
