If so few students in the schools are actually Catholic and the Catholic Education Service is recommending all of these various accommodations for students of other faiths, then they might as well go all the way and stop calling the school "Catholic"! I am willing to bet that they no longer teach Catholic religion classes in these schools lest those who are non-Catholic be offended.

Perhaps the Catholic parents who are mentioned in the article as not supporting the schools are not doing so because they feel they have been overrun in every way. It's truly horrible how the British are letting their traditions and culture be destroyed with seemingly no signs of protest from any sector. I never would have imagined something like this happening. Since obviously nothing is sacrosanct, it only remains to be seen what will be next.

Enoch Powell’s foaming Tiber is what is next.

...but from the article:

Overall, Catholics make up 73.34 per cent of pupils at the 2,300 schools linked to the denomination across England and Wales.
