[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you ever been to a WCAC sporting event?  Or a Club Blue lacrosse game?  Or  CYO basketball game?

If so, you don't need to know why that group is refereed to as the Catholic Mafia.  It is a fairly homogeneous group that acts consistently at cetain events.[/quote]

I went to a WCAC football game this past weekend.  I am not sure what you are talking about.  I sat next between an Asian family and a Hispanic family.  The people in front of me were Irish, and the people behind me appeared to be of Indian decent.  Didn't seem very homogeneous to me at all.

I think the post was referring to uniform behavior at these events and I must concur. Catholic families go nuts at these events. Anytime I go to a WCAC football game, everyone prays with the announcer who recites a pledge for good sportsmanship. Then everyone screams at the crooked refs 60 seconds later.

As for socioeconomic diversity, come on.  Those crowas are overwhelming white upper middle class and above families.[/quote]

OK, let's say you are totally accurate with your assessment.  Now please explain why this is so horrible?  I think it is great that people of a particular ethnic/religious background have that sort of bond.  How is it any different than Jews?  Blacks?  Asians?  Who are you people who have issue with the "Catholic Mafia"?   Please share, and let us know why this is so bad?[/quote]

It's because these people worship at the Temple of Diversity and Inclusion. And anything that even smacks of being inconsistent with Diversity and Inclusion rubs them the wrong way.

Of course, many groups get a pass on this and are allowed to have their own cultures and schools and clubs and whatever. But for some reason, Catholics wanting their own schools or teams or clubs is a bad thing.

It's an odd thing given the history of Catholics in the US and the treatment we received for the first 200 years or so.[/quote]
