“Wherever possible, Catholic schools should remain available and accessible in all areas of a diocese for children who are from poor and middle–class families who face major economic challenges. In addition, Catholic schools should be available to students who are not Catholic and who which to attend them. This has been a proud part of the history of Catholic schools in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.”
