50. Data is not available to verify Moulinier's claim that Catholics controlled more than 50 percent of the hospital beds in the United States and Canada. The number of Catholic hospitals was quite substantial in this period, and Moulinier's calculation might well have been correct. It is also possible, however, that he overstated the number and size of Catholic hospitals. Shanahan, History of the Catholic Hospital Association, 30
