So let me get this straight...
Catholics are obligated to send their kids to Catholic school, and homeschooling is for rare cases.
So we, who have no SSPX school nearby, should go to our Novus Ordo bishop to get permission to homeschool, or we should just send our children to the local Novus Ordo school?
That's insane!
And he's also out of line for claiming moral imperative to send children to the ad-hoc schools known as SSPX schools. They might be fine for a crisis situation -- but we ARE in a crisis. That not only justifies homeschooling in MOST if not ALL cases, but it also means that SSPX schools can't lay claim to the status Catholic Schools once had.
SSPX schools are poor in many cases. End of story. Poor in educational standards, poor in staff, poor in resources, etc.
So my poor "original sin" family isn't enough (agreed), but send my child to a school with a bunch of other "original sin" children, and a low-paid guy in his early 20's making less than a living wage -- and MAGIC WILL HAPPEN?
(Low-paid guy refers to a layman. I'm NOT talking about SSPX priests, who have plenty of education. Unfortunately, there aren't enough of them to go around, and certainly not enough to staff an entire school)
Sorry, I'm not buying it.
