The RCC doesn't *get* a lot of things......including how their schools
could be such a fantastic tool for evangelizing in the cities (and to some
extent in poor rural areas). If they would reopen the schools to *all*
kids, Catholic or not, and, as some of the few inner city ones that are
left do, require parent involvement in certain ways, as: require parents to
show up at mass once a month with their kids, to help keep the school
clean, to come to meetings once a month, etc., they could very well gain
converts. Not to mention possibly gaining converts among the kids, because
of religious instruction in the school. There are a few here and there (I
can think of at least one in Chicago) that do this and they are very
successful. There is also the Cristo Rey network. But the church as a whole
has lost its vision in this country as far as educating the poor.
