Re teacher who has see...Yes I recognise the scene. Re teacher who has seen the decline of the Catholic identity of our secondary schools. Everybody pretending that there is n't a problem and the diocesan inspectors will come along and tell us what an excellent Catholic ethos we have and lovely gospel values. Sadly I am seriously considering sending my children to a school other than the local Catholic one even though we would be one of the very few practising Catholic families.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10089639827955617451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4598228705498900088.post-63244724320437767122011-05-30T16:24:56.872+01:002011-05-30T16:24:56.872+01:00Fr.,

As a city dweller admittedly, I can drive to perhaps 8 parishes inside 15 minutes.<br /><br />I rest my case!Jacobinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4598228705498900088.post-1526019919644459162011-05-30T14:54:55.255+01:002011-05-30T14:54:55.255+01:00This is one reason why I attend a small parish wit...This is one reason why I attend a small parish with no school.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
