However, I would say that the main thing needs to be reintroducing sound Catholic doctrine into our Catholic schools.<BR/><BR/>However, the problem is that many teachers are afraid to step out of line by teaching orthodox Catholicism. Subjects such as the Four Last Things are practically taboo in the classrooms as far as I can see.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-60391910624536217762008-09-14T20:02:00.000+01:002008-09-14T20:02:00.000+01:00Good man, that RE teacher.

Especially among Muslim pupils. We have to rely on what has worked for the church so well for many, many years. The saints can`t all have been wrong.<BR/><BR/>It truly evangelises, in a way that very badly sung modern ditties do not.<BR/><BR/>This is a superb Blog, Fr Ray.

I had always supposed these accomplishments were limited to a very few. Whatever will they be teaching next ? Illumination ? Calligraphy ? The history of incunabula ? The possibilities are endless.<BR/><BR/>Apparently, civilisation is not (yet) dead.<BR/>.PeterHWrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08734936083886678494noreply@blogger.com
