Some “Catholic” schools have not really been Catholic in 40 years.

In addition how many of these “catholic” students go to church more often than Easter and Christmas. Have they spent any time in the confessional? Do they know and receive the sacraments? The commandments?

Before making generalizations about students at catholic schools it is helpful to have a meaningful definition of a) what is a catholic school? and b) what do these catholic students believe and how close is it to what the church actually teaches.

“No true Scotsman”. They are identified as “Catholic” in the name and literature. I agree, most are not religious schools, but ethnic indenty. Most Evangelical colleges are smaller, newer, and more in tune with the founding Church.

I would be interested to see where they are in 50 years. I would be they resemble Norte Dame more.
