Why isn’t the story of Catholic good works in the mainstream ? If for no other reason than they helped keep taxes low these past 100 years. By putting their money where their mouths were unlike lefty do-gooders that always want to put someone else’s money where their zany ideas are. I went to Catholic schools, played CYO sports, got past cancer in a Catholic hospital, my daughter goes to CUA, Kiwanis, Catholic Charities, the Pro-Life fight, - I mean, it is freaking endless.....they’ve done more than any government ever could - and done it organically to boot.

Six of the nine current Supreme Court Justices are recipients of Catholic School Education.

Progressives in media and government see Catholic systems as opponents to their total control of people.

Catholics are a solid liberal voting block, without Catholics, liberalism would not have advanced so thoroughly in America, and we are importing millions more every year, it isn't saving us money, for instance Obama won 54% of the Catholic vote.

Here is a snap shot of that radical transformational period (and tax raising period) of the 1940s and 1960s for example.
