If I may chime in here....

I was oblivious to the extent of the crisis in the Church up until a few years ago. Sending my child to Catholic school was a loud wake up call. I was forced to pull her out because what was being taught and promulgated there was endangering her budding faith. (oh the stories I could tell you)

If they don't teach the faith, let them close. In the state that they are in now they do far more damage than good, IMHO.

Indeed, there are some very good and very Catholic educators out there........but very, very few of them. Gone are the days when you can not hink twice about sending your child to a Catholic school, confident that they will be taught the faith.

In all too many cases, they will be taught anything BUT the faith. The main reasons why folks put their kids in Catholic schools is either out of a misguided sense that it is 1952, and the children will be taught the faith which they as parents knew............or simply becuase of the individual attention/small school population/lack of crime & drugs.

The same holds true for Catholic high schools. My old HS in NY has a "diversity awareness day" which recently included the display of the famous "AIDS Quilt". Then again, this school's faculty founded DIGNITY in the 70s.

Cute.
