[QUOTE="Occams Barber, post: 75444910, member: 313365"] I suggest you go back and read the OP and the linked article again. The issue has nothing to do with secular government taking over Catholic education. It's about State secondary schools minimising Catholic specific practices. This is a quote: [INDENT][I]State secondary schools are to phase out a range of Catholic influences such as mandatory graduation masses, the display of Catholic symbols only and visits from diocesan inspectors. [/I][/INDENT] Catholic schools will continue with normal Catholic practices: [INDENT][I]It is understood that the rules will not necessarily apply to a separate category of 70 ETB schools that have legally binding agreements with the [URL='https://www.irishtimes.com/topics/topics-7.1213540?article=true&tag_organisation=Catholic+Church']Catholic Church[/URL] that guarantee certain provisions for Catholic children.[/I][/INDENT] The Catholic Church in Ireland has much to answer for. As an atheist I don't harbour any hatred for the Church - just anger at the damage it has done to Irish society and the Irish people. If you make the effort to read a little about what has happened in Ireland I can assure you that your amusement will be quickly diminished. OB [/QUOTE]
