A "good Catholic education" fails miserably if it teaches that receiving the Eucharist and other sacraments is unnecessary.   Being a good Catholic goes far beyond being "a good person."  Trouble is, many Catholics who came of age in the past 40 years seem to have grown up thinking that being a "good person" is enough.  So I disagree that what you're seeing now is "a good result of Catholic education."  By Catholic standards, it's dismal.
