Doubts About Financial Aid to Religious Education

Rick tells us that we should all be pro choice on education (referring, of course, to state aid to Catholic schools in the form of vouchers). So the Church has thought in Europe (though there, I do not think the aid has not taken the form of vouchers). The result: The Church has been tied to unpopular regimes and its moral witness muffled. Conditions deeply intruding into the autonomy of the Church have been accepted; and, in the long run, the Church has been thought by millions to be on the wrong side of history. Perhaps it should be open for some of us on this blog to harbor doubts about financial aid to religious education.
