The Secular Mirage of “School Choice” and the Betrayal of Catholic Education
Portal Catholic News Agency reports (November 4, 2025) that Catholic schools allegedly “fare better” in states with government voucher programs, citing research by John F. Quinn presented at Franciscan University of Steubenville. The article celebrates “stable enrollment” in Indianapolis (3% drop) and Venice, Florida (52% increase) under voucher systems, contrasting this with drastic declines in dioceses without such programs like Providence (66% drop) and Rockford (52% drop). This naturalistic triumph narrative omits the supernatural catastrophe unfolding in so-called Catholic education.
