text: Your source is a Catholic website. The Willamette University law professor said that although the law was developed "apart from anti-Catholic sentiment" and predates the first Catholic drive to receive funding for its schools, it was used in some cases against Catholics. I assume you can read motleycrew. Both sides of my family are Catholic. I attended St. Paul's parish school.  Some of my friends send their kids to both Catholic and Christian private schools. It's not bigotry to believe that private religious schools should not be funded at the expense of public schools. That's why efforts to repeal Blaine amendments are largely unsuccessful as the second link I posted indicates. 
  The separation of church and state is widely supported by Americans, including Catholics and Christians.
