“Currently, new faith schools can only select 50 per cent of students on the basis of religion. However, canon law says Catholic schools must give priority to children from the faith.”

The same is happening here in Ireland

I cringe at the idea of baptisms like this; BUT the problem here is actually tiny, they said less than 1 %
 
I think May is looking to support Catholic education.

In Ireland the non religious are free to create their own schools of course and have just as much right to tax payers’ money.

The trouble starts when they want to claim exclusive use of all tax payer money.

I was a little worried that Edna Kenny of Fine Gael would follow through on his attack on Catholic Schools but hopefully this has passed with his recent announcement of resignation.
