A Comment On Current “Catholic” Education

It’s terrible and about as far from Catholic as you can get.  Is that provocative enough?!  I remember the wonderful Catholic education I was blessed to receive when I was young.  My dear, late Aunt Patty, (whom I believe to be a saint+) paid the tuition  for myself and my siblings to go to Catholic schools.  I never knew that she did this till after she died.  Her gift giving was prodigious to Catholic causes and charities, her family being the first to benefit from her generous heart.

My older sister and brother and I were fortunate to be taught before Vatican II.  In other words, we were actually taught the Catholic religion by nuns in full habit and full faith.  The children being taught now in current Catholic schools are not being taught the Catholic religion.  This is evident in something that shows on the outside- their uniforms. The uniforms that current parochial schools require the girls to wear are a scandal.  They are short enough and revealing enough to look like costumes in a pornographic film.  I say this with a scandalized heart and with great sadness.  The fact that the parents allow their children to be dressed like street walkers is another sign that the true Catholic Faith is rare and no longer found in the Vatican II Newchurch.  Of course, there are no more nuns to teach the real faith.  All we have left are “NONES.” not nuns.

I live in an Orthodox Jewish neighborhood and the children of the Jews here are always dressed most modestly.  Their skirts go to the ankles and they wear leggings.  Their blouses are buttoned at the neck and go to their wrists and they wear sweaters or jumpers over these.  The Jewish parents are leaving no doubt to themselves and the world that their children are respected and loved and are being taught Godly values.  They are walking testaments to their faith and their tradition.

Vatican II “Catholics” leave no doubt that their children’s purity and innocence is NOT valued.  They are allowed to dress immodestly and it is a scandal to the True Church and to the world, which is begging to be evangelized.  In the future, these children will look back on their uniforms and if they have become true believers they will be ashamed of how they were permitted to be dressed.  Probably they won’t care because they won’t be Catholic and they will pass their unbelief and scandal to yet another generation.  It is a sad truth that if you want your children to NOT be Catholic, you will send them to Vatican II parochial schools.  That is the surest way to kill any faith they may have.

“Young people need the light of watchful guides to lead them on the path of salvation.”- St. John Baptist de la Salle.  We can say without any doubt that the popes, bishops, priests, nuns and all our Catholic forebears would be, (and from Heaven are) most scandalized by the current state of so-called Catholic education.
