It reënforces the fact that Catholics today cannot send their children to public schools in the USA where they are not merely taught regarding "the knowledge of merely natural things, and only, or at least primarily, the ends of earthly social life" but rather are taught a vast array of things within a pedagogical and philosophical system that is anti-Catholic in its substance and in its result.

When cheapskate USA Catholics spring for enough Catholic schools for all Catholic children, you may have a point.

Until then, most Catholics are not going to homeschool; they have no alternative but public schools.

Wow, so money comes before the souls of our children? There are many Catholic schools available, and many Catholic home school programs. If your friends are so weak in their faith they send their children to pubic schools, you can bet they won't see vocations.

We got the schools, its the parents who are too cheap to spend money on Catholic education because the Almighty Dollar is more important to them. I know of several Catholics who are better off financially than my family that do not care for Catholic schools.

Home schooling is getting more popular every year, it used to be the counter-cultural left that did it in the sixties and seventies but I think the counter-cultural right is dominating the home schooling effort.

Everyone has alternatives. Everyone.
