“Never happen the money is kept for the Rich Vatican they could care less about the cost of the schools or maintaining them. They rely on donations to keep the schools in working order.”

Not true; in the NYC area dozens of schools close annually, and those that survive are often heavily subsidized by their dioceses (as parish collections can no longer cover their operating deficits). I don’t know that the Vatican sees any of this money, though I believe dioceses pay “taxes” of some sort to the Vatican. Catholic education is becoming a thing of the past here, and for empty churches the end is near as well.

I know the Allentown Diocese does not lift a finger to maintain the schools. They also do not help with the cost of the private tuition which has gone up to almost 6k a year in my area. Many kids drop out and go back to the public schools. You would think they would provide some kind of financial help.
