Catholics limiting choice : Comments

By Rodney Croome, published 6/6/2007

Who defines 'Catholic'? Will students be turned away from Catholic schools because their parents are single, in de facto relationships or not regular church goers?

Aqvarivs you are so wrong. How can you make such an ill-informed broad sweeping statement such as ‘watered down the curriculum……by creeping socialist agenda from non-Catholic teachers’? You should be giving us creeping socialist non-Catholic teachers accolades for working so tirelessly, at times in very difficult circumstances, to breakdown the archaic and very deeply entrenched pedagogical practices of the some of those Catholic teachers within the hierarchy of the Catholic education system. Give us a break!

Dear Marty,
Would you care to elaborate on exactly what you mean by the archaic and deeply entrenched pedagogical practices of Catholic teachers? If you are a non-Catholic teacher working in a Catholic school, do you really have the right to undermine the faith in such a way as you seem to be suggesting? My advise to non-Catholic teacher is, if you are so opposed to the faith, why would you even consider teaching there?

Marty Hoare, Your desire to make changes to the Catholic Educational system as a non Catholic with no commitment to the practice of the faith (as a right), to bring in leftist policy into a conservative institution (as a right), etc.. We really don't need your assistance in transforming Catholic schools into a godless public institution batted back and forth by the socialist whim of the day. Thanks but no thanks. Leave us to our archaic pedagogical practices. And go practice your rights at someone else's expense. Catholic Schools ought not to be in name only. One doesn't apply to a business college to learn oil painting or auto mechanics, does one? How can I say all this? Simple. My parents went to Catholic schools, I went to Catholic schools, and my children go to Catholic schools. We are aware of the changes and the politics and we don't like it in our schools. There are plenty of public schools for you to redecorate according to your “need”.
