I've been running into a lot of that since I became Catholic. Seems like a large percentage of Catholics had parents who thought they'd just absorb everything or didn't have much catechesis themselves and saw no need for it.
Or is it like Michael Voris was saying and most Catholic schools dropped the ball and went stupid after V II?

I’d say that’s your answer. I attended 12 years of Catholic school in the 1950s and ‘60s. Nearly all of my teachers were dedicated teaching sisters who gave me a solid academic foundation along with strong religious training.
Today, in the average American Catholic school, sisters are pretty much extinct, and the religion department is a tangled mass of confusion and feel-goodism.
