I was just thinking about this and how weird and fucked up it is. Imagine a country where 13% of schools were owned and operated by the Flat Earth Society, and nobody questions it.
Unless they have Jesus there healing the sick just what the hell is the big idea? There must be some reason or history to it. Maybe they built hospitals where none were for the community?
There must be some reason or history to it.
Inherently ultra-authoritarian organization wants an effective way to brainwash and threaten children into joining their cult forever. Government officials ignore constitution as well as all common sense and decency to let them.
That’s the reason and the history in full.
Edit: oops, that’s the reason for catholic SCHOOLS! My bad.
The reason for catholic hospitals is that a super-rich multinational corporation talked government officials into letting them get free branding.
