"Those people" have closed over 100 schools in Chicago in the past 5 years. In one of the largest Catholic cities in the country, and the 10th (or so) largest school system in the country, and they can't keep schools open because they don't have enough money.
Catholic schools are like any other school - they're hurting for money unless they've got a huge endowment, which is rare for ANY private school.
