I don't think the grants represent a government endorsement of Catholicism.
That's like saying any company that works for a church cannot contract for the Government.

The Constitution has God inscribed on it, so
the Government cannot fund itself because it supports God as a Religion?
More activism from Atheists?

“I don’t think the grants represent a government endorsement of Catholicism.”

Doesn’t matter if it is. The Constitution forbids “establishment,” not “endorsement.” All that means is that congress is not allowed to establish a state religion, in the same way that the Anglican Church is the official religion of England.
