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.
I know because it has happened at my children’s three time blue ribbon Catholic High School, and I have made enemies trying to fight it. I completely agree with your assessment and opinion. Unfortunately, when money, power and community status comes into play money seems to trump having a moral Catholic backbone. That being said there is always hope, we have a new principal this year.
