[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]As a non-Catholic, I don't get the knocking of schools for being less purely Catholic.[/b] One goes to college to broaden their horizons and meet other people from other backgrounds. Going to a school that is 99% Catholic seems very isolating and like it won't prepare you well for the real world.

I feel somewhat the same way about women's schools and HBCU's but as groups that have faced significant discrimination in the not-too-distant past, it is different (I know Catholics have been discriminated against, but it is nothing compared to these groups, especially not in a long time).[/quote]

Because the “real Catholics” as another poster put it (who aren’t the real Catholics at all, but that’s for another thread) are insecure and this is a way for them to signal that they are the most Catholic-y of Catholics.

It doesn’t matter. Most kids raised Catholic are choosing universities for other reasons and so, yes, schools like Georgetown remain popular. Even with Catholic kids, if not their virtue-signaling parents.[/quote]
