If Scotland votes for independence it must continue to recognise the contribution Catholic schools make to Scottish life, according to the key note speaker at the 2014 Cardinal Winning Lecture tomorrow.

Professor Anthony Finn, the former chief executive of General Teaching Council for Scotland, will give the 2014 Cardinal Winning Lecture at Glasgow University tomorrow morning. During the lecture, the professor, who recently carried out an extensive survey of Catholic education in Scotland, plans to express his hopes the country will continue to show maturity in promoting religious diversity in its school system.

“A Scottish Government report has recently stated that there is no evidence at all that the presence of denominational schools helps to promote sectarianism," he is expected to say.
