Christian pupils are now outnumbered by Muslims at Roman Catholic schools in some parts of England. ___ A survey has found 24 Catholic primary schools in the North West and the Midlands teach a minority of churchgoing children.
Fewer than one in 10 children are Catholic at one school in Birmingham, while the Church is ending its involvement with a similar establishment in Blackburn.
Overall, Catholics make up 73.34 per cent of pupils at the 2,300 schools linked to the denomination across England and Wales.
But The Tablet, a weekly Catholic magazine, found that in Oldham, Blackburn, Wolverhampton and Birmingham there has been a sharp decline in the proportion of Catholics being educated in local faith schools.
At English Martyrs in Sparkhill, Birmingham, just 36 of the 410 pupils are Catholic while the vast majority are Muslim.
At Sacred Heart Primary in Salford, there are only seven Catholic pupils and moves are under way to remove it from the diocese’s jurisdiction.
Canon Anthony McBride said: “It seems that, for some reason, many Catholic parents in Sacred Heart parish have, over a number of years, ceased to support their school.”

wow
Probably better education and better overall environment for their kids, plus $$$. I imagine these kids are capable of going to a Catholic school and still be Muslims.
Saudi money finances the stepping stone of fine education brought by Catholic schools, only to better prepare them for the distinguished universities.
Once they get their advanced degrees, they get prestigious jobs and destroy Western Civilization without a shot being fired.
....JUST LIKE OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I could fix that:
Require all students to attend Mass daily, and to take Communion.
Muzzies’d be gone in a minute.
Because their parents want them to get a good education.
Same thing in Hawaii. Christian schools have many Buddhist and Shinto students.
The UK is doomed within this century to become another sharia country. Amazing how they stood for a thousand years against all enemies and then invited this plague into their midst. Given the way these people breed and how they continue to get more aggressive as their numbers grow its just a matter of time.

<Why are there Mohammedans in a Catholic school?
I went to a toney Catholic girls’ school in DC. We had a lot of embassy kids, including the daughter of someone on staff in the Egyptian embassy. I remember her sitting at the lunch table with us during Ramadan.
She was in our school because it was a strict girls’ school, which apparently trumped the Catholic part. It’s been a long time since then, but I’m pretty sure she had to sit in religion class with us and wasn’t excused.
They married her off in senior year. We held the shower in the residence at the Naval Observatory (now the VP’s house), as one of our classmates was the daughter of Elmo Zumwalt. ...so long ago...
WHY are they in Catholic schools?
Why are Catholics allowing them in their schools?
Excerpt:
Last year the Catholic Education Service said Catholic schools should provide multi-faith prayer rooms for Muslim, Jewish, Hindu and Sikh students.
It also suggested bathrooms should be adapted to accommodate ritual cleansing.
Money, and I suppose the chance of a few converts.
OK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
