[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm Catholic but grew up in the Midwest.  My experience is that most Catholics in Washington, like people from other faith traditions, come from other parts of the country.

I get the sense that there is a small, elite society of upper-crusty Catholics in NW DC and BCC, mostly Irish-American, who display the cliquish tendencies cited by PPs.  But the large majority of other Catholics blend pretty seamlessly into the larger society.

My kids go to a parochial school with a sizable non-Catholic minority and I've never heard a comment from any of the non-Catholic parents that they feel marginalized or excluded.

Even many of the Catholic parents, especially younger ones, grew up as non-Catholics and joined the Church as adults.  The days of ethnic Catholic ghettoes are long gone.[/quote]

Sure, why not? Come one, come all. Forget that these Catholic schools were built in large part with quarters and dimes from the collection baskets at Mass.

Enjoy our discounted private schools. Keep your kids out of the Public schools. De-program your kids when they come home.

Game the system if you want. It's hard to stop the desperate.

But we aren't stupid. We see and know what you are doing.[/quote]

LOL. As a fellow Catholic, parochial school alum, and DC area native, I find this funny.  We do kind of think this way, everybody.  [/quote]
