@michael_merrick @TremayneWalter So if you aren’t catholic doesn’t that by definition mean you don’t get to heaven? So how much more exclusive can you get?

@ellandnora @TremayneWalter No.

@michael_merrick Surely the point of a Catholic school is to be exclusive, i.e. to exclude people who aren’t Catholic. A Catholic school that lets in anyone won’t be Catholic very long.

@michael_merrick In Scotland, a teaching applicant can be denied a post if they dont have permission from the diocese. They can discriminate against an applicant on grounds of religion/fauth/personal belief. Doesn't seem fair.

@michael_merrick And Catholic schools have a stronger community feel (I think c of e do to) then non faith schools.

@michael_merrick Given the decline in @churchofengland attendance, perhaps they should review their indoctrination programme

@michael_merrick CofE is an easy target. Would Roberts make so much of a squeak in the general direction of Islamic schools?

@michael_merrick From someone with knowledge of both. You suspect wrong.

@michael_merrick Is there something in unnatural hair dye that travels along the hair strand and enters the brain? Why are all of its bearers so profoundly unoriginal ?

@michael_merrick Well, the Catholic Church is a global body, involved in the education of over 65 million K-12 pupils worldwide. It speaks in scores of languages and is in dialogue with hundreds of cultures. What other UK (or Irish!) education body can say that of themselves?

@michael_merrick Now do Church of England schools.

@michael_merrick Still odd that the state funds the weekly teaching of fairy tails as fact.
