Why would Catholics care if non-Catholic childern came to their schools to learn about Catholicism? That would help the faith, not hurt it...

this totally correct, there were plenty of non-catholics when i was attending school in the seperate system, especially in the early to mid 90's it was a much better option. The public school board was in massive debt and had their entire board fired for the constant bickering and unprofessionalism than ran through the ranks.
