It was not withdrawal as much that it was persecution and elimination of catholic schools by state and enforcing everyone to attend state controlled schooling.

Also dismantling of catholic youth groups and catholic publications to force everyone on the nazi youth.

@The New Knights Templar A few years ago, Phil Lawler commented on the coming crisis in Catholic education, made inevitable by the collapse in devoutness that’s taken place over the last several decades. It’s been bad for a long time. At the Boston area Catholic high school I attended in the ‘90s, there was not a single “theology” teacher who was orthodox. Liberation theology was treated as dogma, and there was no formation in chastity, for a couple of examples. The thing was, nearly all of these teachers were going to Mass every Sunday. By now, pretty much all of the “theology” teachers have no Catholic upbringing, with all of their “knowledge” coming from masters programs at places like Boston College. Catholic education needs to just start over. There is almost nothing worth keeping of the current way of doing business.
