Parish schools, diocesan schools, Jesuit schools and schools run by the Sisters of Mercy.

I think the parishes could better educate the children with focused formation programs outside of the math, science, etc schools.

Or maybe not, given what passes for parish religious education programs after the dismantling of the old CCD system.

I'm not against the schools - I just don't know if the faith benefit is there for those which are not self-supporting.

I can go both ways on the schools

But we will disagree when it comes to hospitals.

There are way too many rural locations where that is the only option.

If it is the only option, I do not disagree.

I would say that is a need the Church is satisfying.

I intended my post more about redundancies.

Well

Sometimes the only reason the Catholic Church can run a hospital in bumfuzzle location is because it's part of a system that includes metro areas that help keep the "lights on" at the small rural hospital.
