Under current provincial law, when a person moves, the address he/ she moves from automatically reverts to a public school-supporting ratepayer. And the address he/ she moves to doesn't become designated as a Catholic school supporter unless the occupant fills out a form to change it. It's commonly called the default mechanism. "Because of the default mechanism, those numbers [of Catholic ratepayers] continue to decline," said John Stadnyk, the Huron-Superior board's director of education.
...issue is important because the number of Catholic ratepayers in their jurisdiction determines the number of trustees who can be elected....
...A report from Chris Spina, the Huron-Superior board's chief financial officer, said that 756 forms were sent to non-Catholic rate-paying parents of students in Huron Superior schools.
they will act just like public schools to get it too I guess
I’m real disappointed, Alex. For one while, you had started to post articles containing legitimate constructive criticism for the Catholic church. But the last three articles I’ve seen were:
(1) An article that outrageously abused a statistical hiccough to make it seem that the the Catholic Church has been in a long, steep decline, whereas it’s actually been growing robustly.
(2) An astoundingly stupid fake news story.
(3) This.

That is (apparently), 756 forms were sent to parents who were not registered as Catholics so that they might register as Catholics. Since the default is to remove Catholics from the registration rolls, this seems like a fairly necessary action.
Do you have times of the month when you have a particular urge to spread hatred of Catholicism at large on Free Republic? And I suppose that traditional Protestants are doing so great in this liberal secular culture that you think it somehow advancin the cause of Christianity to promote this anti-Catholic hatred that is endemic in the liberal society at large? Wake up and smell the coffee! The society at large is against Christianity, pure and simple. Simply pursuing your Reformation era narrow anti-Catholic agenda is simply not helpful or constructive at this time.
