| Most people have missed one of the key points in the archbishop's statements. He said that catholic schools should have a real Catholic ethos. Quite simply, that is not the case in most so-called Catholic schools in this country. Most of them are Catholic in name only. Many of the posters here are, in all probability, products of so-called Catholic education. Yet in almost every case they reveal themselves to be very deficient in their understanding of Catholicism. What we need is a system with fewer, but truer, Catholic schools. Let those who truly, truly want a real catholic education have it. I reckon that there is a market for no more than a few dozen of these schools in the entire country. The rest can adopt whatever philosophy they want. In our current system those who want a genuine Catholic schooling, where the faith is taken seriously have very little choice. Fewer, but truer, is the way to go. |

| I agree. I'd much prefer quality over quantity. There are children coming out of so-called Catholic schools who don't even know the Our Father, let alone the Angelus. I blame the priests, teachers and the parents. A whole new plan for catechisis needs to be devised. And not like the airy-fairy stuff the last time round. |
