Designed To Fail

From parochial schools through Catholic colleges and universities, commentators agree that the Catholic system of education in America has broken down. While there remain a handful of schools which still pass on the Faith, most no longer do. What happened?

Using the evidence of Magisterial, European and American history, this book analyzes the historical standards the Catholic Church established for education and demonstrates exactly where and when the concept went off the rails in America. But most important, it demonstrates why it went off the rails.

You will discover surprising facts concerning the American episcopal hierarchy, and even more surprising facts concerning their enemies. You will learn why school reform never succeeds, how and when the schools began to break down (it’s not when you think), how the Catholic parochial schools inadvertently fueled the culture of death and you will thereby discover the reason we are where we are today.

But best of all, you will see the way out of the morass. Because the analysis of the breakdown is thorough, the solution is much easier to envision.

Deception describes three centuries of knock-down drag-out combat between the Catholic Faith and American culture, but it also shows how Catholics can triumph.
