"...educated Catholic citizens...."

Not necessarily. Go to some of the wealthier towns and you'll find highly educated Catholics -- of all ages -- still very supportive of the parish's mission. Remember, nationally, there are more educated Catholics with incomes over 100,000 dollars (nearly 14 million of them) than there are Jewish, Episcopal and Presbyterians combined. Many are in Ct. Bishop Caggiano is well aware of that, too.
