Terrible, horrible news.
Those school produce smart, moral, educated kids.
Instead, taxpayers have to fund bigoted, racist leftist indoctrination in the public schools……

Catholic Schools Closing for Good Amid Pandemic Pressure
Newsmax, 06 September 2020:
Catholic schools are doing more than shuttering under crippling financial conditions from the global coronavirus pandemic. They are shutting down for good.
There were 6,183 Catholic schools up and running last year in the U.S., but about 150 of those private schools have closed, National Catholic Educational Association director and interim President Kathy Mears told The New York Times reported.
“If a school was financially vulnerable, the pandemic was the thing that pushed them over the edge,” Mears told the Times.
The issues for Catholic schools began before the pandemic, but out of work parents struggling to meet the needs for tuition have exacerbated the situation, raising the rate of closures 50% higher, according to Mears.
The Archdiocese of New York announced the closing of 20 Catholic schools in July and Boston has closed nine, with about two dozen others on a “watch list,” Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston Superintendent of Schools Thomas Carroll told the Times.
The number of practicing Catholics in the U.S. have been in decline, so have the number the students enrolling in Catholic schools. It was down to about 1.7 million nationwide in 2019-20 before the pandemic after peaking in the 1960s are 5.2 million.
Four schools in the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston closed in April.
“The cataclysmic effects of this pandemic have left us with no options — which breaks our hearts,” Cardinal Daniel DiNardo told the Times in a statement.

The true Church (individuals saved by Christ) is protected by the creator of the universe, it’s doing just fine. Institutions created and run by man on the other hand…

Exactly….all of the “training” going on was just exposed by a Chris Rufo….I downloaded all of his stories about where this brainwashing is going on all around us…right under our nose. And guess what? Our tax dollars are paying for it.!
They’ve re-programed the military, the post offices, and so many other government offices…..you should all read up on it. It is terrifying!

YES!! Article upon article,… shows Islam being forced, or creeping its way into American schools, military(Gulf war) and politics(Omar, Tlaib)…. most Americans wish to remain asleep at the wheel. Too busy and excited for the return of the NFL, NBA and MLB…. that HATE OUR WAY OF LIFE!! So sad and pathetic.

Frankly it is not my responsibility to care what people think of me, or whatever names they wish to call me, as their opinions are like assholes, everybody has one, so if they call me a racist, nazi, whatever because I refer to pisslam as a Fascist Religious Cult then they can either deal with it or STFU as I really dont care as I am not inside their silly heads, though my opinion of them seems way more important to them than their opinion of me. go figure…

Chrislam is what he is peddling. He wants a meaningless one world religion to unite us for peace of course. LOL. He’s like another Judas Iscariot with a much larger following. Ultimately, who ever is the one world global leader will require worship of himself and that will be the end of that fantasy. This Pope seems to be oblivious to prophecy.
one world religion.

All of that may be true, Felix…..but all of my Catholic acquaintances have either left the Church or planning to leave the Church….
Could the Pope be the one who prepares the world for the coming of Satan? Looks like it to me.
Islam is a death Cult for 1400 years….by no definition is it a “religion.”
And what was left off that list above is:
Muslims are tasked with either converting everyone to Mohammad or enslaving them…or killing them.
Interesting to note, the United States’ first war was against the Muslims on the Barbary Coast….and all these years later….they are inside our country, our government, and are still planning to enslave or kill us.
We have judges in our country today who are allowing Muslims to settle property disputes under Sharia Law in Florida. Rick Perry (whose daughter married one) allowed Muslims to get Sharia divorces in Texas. Some Judge up North said that FMG was just fine with him and let the monsters doing this to little girls continue to do it.
Wasn’t there something in our Constitution that said there shall be no law in America other than American Law? I think so.

If anyone ever thought that the Marxist Pope was anything else other than a Marxist….then they weren’t paying attention…..
He helped oust Benedict in a Vatican Coup…..He can’t leave soon enough for me.
When he washed the feet of Muslims on Easter…..I got sick at my stomach….and I’m not even Catholic.

When I watched silly white people kissing the feet of black people while they apologized for the ancient slavery sins of their Forefathers I wondered when I would see black people bowing down and kissing the feet of white people while thanking their ancient Forefathers for freeing them from slavery..

The same LGBTQ supremacist lobby that is cheering the initiative in California to make children ripe for the picking by pedophiles via reducing any and all penalties for child sex abuse, are cheering this development no doubt. However ineffectual, the Church – and the Boy Scouts, whose teachings had also involved traditional Judeo-Christian morality and values – had been a bulwark against the encroachment of Greenwich Village/San Francisco/Fire Island “values” onto the rest of society. The current class-action lawsuits against both institutions have NEVER been about “justice” for child sex abuse victims, but about bringing down both entities and especially undermining, eviscerating, and neutralizing the Church’s moral authority and wiping out any and all potentially serious opposition to the furthering of sexual perversion, the spreading of transgenderism, and the furtherance of the crime of abortion. There is no doubt these SNAP suits – which they openly admitted was about destroying both the Church and Scouts financially – played a role, as well as the panDEMic, in these Catholic schools’ closures (yet have been silent to the point of crickets chirping over the egregious SB 145 and the future sex abuse victims that will come from this). From what I read, SNAP is tied at least in part to the LGBTQ “leadership.”

…that’s because Kammie Kommie is a great friend of the Catholic Church in California….she refused to prosecute the child molesting Priests….read about it in Peter Schweitzer’s book: PROFILES IN CORRUPTION.

Yes. But it’s mostly because people in Commie-fornia don’t give a s hit ! Most of the good moral people in Kalif left years ago. There are some pockets but they are outnumbered by the millions of Illegals and sick liberals.

Well now, the Vatican could easily support these schools from their bulging coffers of quadrillions and gazillions of dollars. Plus they own all the most valuable real estate in every city of the world as well as bazillions more $$$$’s in works of art. So why don’t they bail out their own schools and help their own ???
Maybe the pic below here will give the answer. (Hint….Jesus and allah are NOT the same…they are mortal enemies with allah being the loser).

Did anybody tell that Catholic Politician thats running for President against Donald Trump, or does he even know this is happening.
Are the islamic Schools staying open because if they were to close them it would be racist as everything seems to be called that these days.
