In an effort to encourage dialogue and reflection on matters of common concern and interest, responses are invited on selected articles from other educators, who engage the text critically and offer some reflections about its utility and validity.This article offers responses from J. Christian Beretta, a principal, and Richard G. Wosman, assistant professor and director, to the article "The Lack of Consensus among Catholics for Establishing New Elementary Schools," by M. J. Cieslak (2006). Beretta shares that Cieslak's research produces data from a handful of suburban parishes, the results of which are hardly surprising to those currently engaged in the struggle to keep Catholic schools alive. He argues, however, that the changing world is precisely what the current crisis in Catholic schools is all about. Cieslak's data alone make the point to the experienced eye, but the discussion falls short of providing the additional context and commentary needed to drive home the message to those that would criticize Catholic schools and administrators. For Wosman, Cieslak places the question of opening a parish school in the context of the dramatic changes taking place in Catholic education and the Church. Wosman thinks parents have always sent their children to Catholic schools for safety, education, formation, and discipline. Catholic educators must be wary of those who do so to avoid the developing multicultural nature of the U.S. Church and society.
