[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The original question was whether a non-Catholic would feel out of place at Bishop Ireton, not whether Catholicism, Catholics or Catholic schools are good or bad. No one's arguing that Catholics or Catholic schools are bad (at least not on this thread), though a few Catholics on this thread (non-representative of the larger Catholic community, I trust) are doing their best to demonstrate their own hostility to sharing schools with people of other faiths.

Back to the original question: we just have to hope that Ireton is populated mainly by folks like the 23:18 poster (welcoming and inclusive) rather than folks like the 09:46 poster (hostile and exclusionary).

"Sharing" the Catholic schools? Now who could be against "sharing"?

Just how much of a "share" are you looking for? What entitles you to any share at all?[/quote]

Um... the fact the most Catholic schools encourage non-Catholics to apply, maybe?

PP, sorry you hate the idea of non-Catholics at "your" schools. Fortunately for the rest of us, most Catholic schools' admissions offices do not take the same view.

If you don't like the idea that your kids might encounter children of different faiths, feel free to stay under your rock and homeschool your kids. But just as you've suggested --rightly-- that people shouldn't send their kids to schools if they feel unable or unwilling to accept that school's rules and traditions, why don't you respect the fact that most area Catholic schools have chosen to welcome applicants from other faiths?

Deal with it.[/quote]
