Open Question: Are Catholic schools and colleges even Catholic anymore?

The "Catholic" Name on the Door Means Nothing. Even Newchurch now admits that its colleges aren't Catholic. Under Jon Paul II and Benedict-Ratzinger, such colleges rob parents and students. In yet another Newchurch fraud, "Catholic" college students are just as pagan now as secular students. As if it weren't obvious already, a new study has confirmed that "Catholic Colleges" are no longer Catholic. The National Catholic Register, a prominent Newchurch publication, has admitted in a front-page article that under JPII and Benedict-Ratzinger, the colleges under their jurisdiction have become institutions embracing the pagan secular culture. Among the findings: - 20 per cent of the "Catholic" students have had abortions. - 60 per cent of the "Catholic" students reject Catholic teaching that abortion is the murder of a human being and advocate that abortion should be legalized. - 46 per cent of the "Catholic" students have fornicated (we suspect that the number is actually much higher, but that the respondents were too embarrassed to admit it). - 57 per cent of the "Catholic" students reject Catholic teaching that homosexual acts are one of the Four Sins that Cry to Heaven for Vengeance and advocate that "gay" marriage should be legalized. The figures are worse for women than men, further confirming the fact that the gender that used to be the bedrock of society and the family is becoming its destroyer. Among the results: - Female students are 22 per cent more likely than males to participate in fornication. - Female students are 35 per cent less likely than males to attend the Novus Ordo Service Mass weekly. - Female students are 23 per cent less likely than males to go to the Novus Ordo "Sacrament of Reconciliation" annually. - Female students are 19 per cent less likely than males even to pray daily. The Great Sex & Embezzlement Scandal presided over by JPII and Benedict-Ratzinger have resulted in the majority of Newchurch students saying that they no longer respect Newchurch bishops and popes. 10 to 13 per cent said that their "Catholic" college experience directly caused them to have no respect for Newchurch bishops and popes and to reject the Novus Ordo "sacraments." Already at the time of Vatican II (1962-1965), the noted Catholic educator, Archbishop Fulton Sheen, who taught at the Catholic University of America for nearly 25 years, noted with deep concern what was happening in Catholic education and the fact that many young people were losing the Faith. His warning on higher education, given around 1967, was as prophetic as it was startling: "You are better off going to a state school where you will have the chance to fight for your faith, than going to a modern Catholic university where you will have the new watered-down, modernist version of the faith spoon-fed to your unsuspecting minds, so that you will be apt to lose your faith." Nowadays, the best choice for parents and students is a college is a conservative liberal-arts college. The best major is Classics (Latin and Greek), which, in addition to giving the foundation for all secular and religious study, is usually one of the most conservative departments at any given institution. Institutions associated with the New Order and the “New Mass,” even when billed as “conservative,” should be particularly avoided, in accordance with the advice of Archbishop Sheen above. In addition to getting a thorough grounding in the classical languages, students should emphasize philosophy (particularly classical and mediaeval philosophy), music (particularly early and classical music), history (particularly ancient and mediaeval history), mathematics and the natural sciences, psychology and the social sciences (one must be careful here in choosing conservative courses), and oratory and rhetoric (sometimes called "Speech").
