Catholic parish schools grew fourfold in forty years and stoked Protestant tensions

Evidence

As their numbers grew, Catholics created their own community organizations with a focus on establishing Catholic schools. Bishops required every parish to have a Catholic grammar school, resulting in increased attendance, from approximately 400,000 children in 1880 to 1.7 million in 1920. The nationwide system of Catholic schools exacerbated tensions with Protestants, especially as the schools sought public funding. — Sahar F.
