text: One of the disappointing trends seen in the 20th century was the decline of education in the western world, particularly in those places that, accurately or not, claimed precedence in education, like England.  An offshoot of this is the inability of many from England to truly comprehend what they read, which leads to unfortunate misunderstandings, as exhibited here.  Of course, one might suggest that, rather than spending time posting comments on a foreign magazine, catholics in England would better serve their church by engaging their fellow citizens, many of whom are now nones.
