Essentilally the church did what it did in order to insert itself as the major player for the "hearts and minds" of the population.

It's far from the benevolent and Christian facade it portrays.

One thing I always remembered from my convent school days was the story about Jesus seeing a temple being used as a marketplace. "No money in the house of God" (I'm paraphrasing).

Yet book any religious service and you'll be advised fairly sharpish of the minimum contribution. Bury a loved one who wanted a religious service and the undertaker will tell you the minimum acceptable amount for the priest and altar boys. Sure there no money in The Vatican after all ...

That's mild compared to the abuse and denials that we've all become familiar with, yet we're supposed to accept that apparently celibate bishops (with some notable exceptions) are best placed to devise sex education with a Catholic ethos.

Just came across another piece of useful information for those who still think non Catholics are "accommodated" by Catholic Schools. A school enrolment form states that if you wish for your child to be excused from Religious instructions in the school "it will not be possible for my child to be outside the classroom during these lessons and that I, as a parent/ guardian must remove my child from the school if I do not want them to hear the Religion lesson".

A nice handy extortion number to ensure new fodder is supplied to this organisation.

Huh?

When I was in secondary they just let me go on my own way to a study hall instead.

This is primary school. Whilst I sympathise with the resource restrictions I'm sure there are ways to work around it, but the "Board of management" (i.e. The Church) are leveraging it to leave a parent with little choice. Either quit working or allow my child to be indoctrinated.

Yeah nice move huh? Sounds like a pretence to facilitate the supposed right to "opt out".

Merely sticking the child at the back of the class room and "othering" them.

But in fact the child is still in the class room and is still going to hear all the indoctrination and fantasy nonsense that they are supposedly opting out of.

The excuse I guess is usually they do not have the resources to accommodate them anywhere else in the school in any way.
