    Keeping with the theme of "Its better to light a candle than to curse the darkness," let's do what we can to save Catholic inner city schools. The First Amendment issues wouldn't be too hard.

    I'd compare it to the home mortgage crisis. We should put aside ideological differences and meet this doable challenge. Stop a crises before it is beyond repair.

    Perhaps we would then build some of the trust needed to address the issues where we don't yet know the answers.
