Notice the dig here?
“...the address will insert Pope Benedict into an ongoing debate... [about how Catholic] schools should assert their Catholic identities — even as Catholic enrollment declines.”
Oh, I see. Catholic identity is chasing away students? No, not by a mile. Even if some students left over the Catholic identity, the students who do attend will provide a better and larger Catholic generation of students in the years to come.
I agree Vlad. Although I am no longer Catholic I think
the Catholic church needs to be more Catholic and conservative if they want to bolster their ranks. In fact I think the increasing numbers of Latin Mass attendees is a good indicator of the need for a more orthodox church and schools.
Correct. My wife attended an all girls “Catholic” college. Many of the parents sent their daughters there thinking it was an orthodox and safe place. In fact the students there were taught an evil twisted theology mixed with Marxism.
Ten years after my wife graduated, following plumetting enrollment, the school closed. Thanks be to God.
