> Also, the local Archdiocese across the US need to get their shit together,
Local dioceses, which include but are not limited to archdiocese; metropolitan archbishops have extremely limited authority over the diocese of suffragan bishops within their province, so archdioceses have no real special status here other than that they also happen to be dioceses.

They aren't, anti-vaxxers are. There's some cases where the vaccination policy of the a particular diocese is less strict than those of public schools in the same area, and cases where the reverse is true [0]; and Catholic schools are the most common private schools in the country. So, where they have more lenient vaccination policies than public schools, they are where anti-vaxxers tend to end up, but they aren't the cause.

[0] Texas is, apparently, an example of the latter, since public schools accept religious exemptions but the Catholic schools do not. http://staugustinecs.org/archdiocese-statement-on-immunzatio...
