There’s a good reason why liberal Catholics don’t care about dogma, Schmitz concludes: “it’s that the Church has taught them not to care.”

This is absolutely the truth. As the author says, not "the Church" in a greater sense, but the Church in the person of the local bishops, religious and lay teachers, writers and preachers.

Homilies are nothing but the priest giggling about how cute it is that he watched some trashy TV program and "learned" something from it, or mindless leftwing ramblings about "social justice." Catholic schools ceased to teach doctrine long ago, and RCIA programs are nothing but teaching people that it's nice to be nice.

You are so right.

Admitting non-Catholic students to Catholic schools did not help, either, as teachers often take pains to water down the Catholicism so as not to offend them.
