NP. Care to elaborate? [/quote]

The purpose of Catholic school is to educate Catholic children.  Not to be nearby, affordable, and small-but-not-too-small to non-Catholic children who will put up with Catholic teachings to escape from public school.  There are several non-Catholic students at my kids’ Diocesan K-8 school and, TBH, I’m not sure why they’re there.  They are excluded from receiving the sacraments and are surprised at how much parish life and school life overlap even though, once again, the purpose of Catholic schools is to educate Catholic children.[/quote]

The purpose of Catholic school is to educate children. Most are Catholic because there is a lot of Catholicism baked into the school day. But there are plenty of non-Catholic kids in Catholic schools. Some Catholics are more welcoming to children than others. You are an example of less-welcoming. WWJD?

This is true for many Catholic schools especially those that are not in Catholic strong holds. BS is the wealthiest most “Catholic” parish in DC. BS is there to educate Catholic children in the Catholic faith. It’s not for people who describe themselves as liberal Jewish. [/quote]

I don’t disagree about BS being very Catholic but I do disagree that somehow makes BS’s mission different from all other schools. They are just not as good at that mission.
