I just want to add that the reason why it's having 'enormous problems' is because it is being underfunded by the government and stretched for demand beyond what it can supply. No one would want that to happen and be emulated, but the system itself is sacred to society here.

They're also there to provide help for the growing of their faith.

It's not just a Catholic thing, but is used in the Anglican Church and presumably Protestant churches such as Lutherism.
