Before you make comments like that, you might want to verify that the school in question, Loyola High School in Montreal, actually takes public funding. I have been unable to do so. Students there definitely pay tuition.

Some FReepers are under the sweetly naive assumption that the government will leave you alone if you don't take their money. That's no longer true even in this country, to say nothing of Canada.

You're absolutely right, of course. However, our Church needs to stop relying on government funds. Here in Philadelphia, Archbishop Chaput put in a plug for vouchers as he announced he was closing dozens of parish schools. I wanted to put a brick through the TV. Can't he see that the government cannot be trusted and that we Catholics need to pay for our own?
