Diocesan Apparachik Complains about Competition From Independent Catholic Schools

At CNS, Patricia Weitzel-O'Neill, complained about the fact that Catholic Schools are closing down, indeed, she's been working on her capacity as an overseer of "Catholic" education for many years, overseeing it's conclusion, and apparently, its demise.

Meanwhile, what Weitzel-O'Neill termed "faux Catholic schools" are springing up, led by those who have been in the Catholic home-schooling movement. She showed the home page to a website for a Pope John Paul II Academy in a suburban section of the Archdiocese of Washington, which has no connection with the archdiocese, despite entreaties by archdiocesan officials that the school seek some sort of connection. "They're teaching the Catholic faith, but they're not approved by any bishop," she added.

She says elsewhere that Catholic Schools are in "crisis". Indeed, she has presided over the closing of Catholic Schools in Washington State and Boston

In the CNS interview above, Ms. Patricia Weitzel-O'Neil skirted Archbishop Chaput's initiative to keep open homosexuals out of Catholic education. The reason for these "faux Catholic" schools is perhaps her faux Catholic approach to education. Indeed, parents have removed their children from schools under her direction because of the descriptively named sex-ed Child Lures Program she mandates for the children. The Child Lures program doesn't teach Catholic doctrine and promotes the moral indifference of homosexuality. So it shouldn't be a mystery to anyone, is becoming increasingly known to everyone, that many Catholic Schools, especially those under the direction of the Diocese simply aren't Catholic at all.
