The report has outraged non-religious groups, who accused the bishop of trying to 'indoctrinate' pupils. In a letter to Secretary of State Ed Balls, the National Secular Society wrote: 'What happened to a well-rounded education - which is what British state schools are supposed to provide?' Keith Porteous Wood, executive director of the society, said: 'I do not think the state should be funding Catholic indoctrination.' He highlighted a poll released by the US group Catholics for a Free Choice showing that most Catholics across the world believed using condoms was pro-life because it prevented the spread of HIV and Aids.


Catholics are taxpayers. The Church contributes 10% towards the cost of the schools. We save the Government a lot of money. If the bishops closed all the Catholic schools the State schools would not cope.

How come Catholic schools in general get such high academic results if the teachers have time to brainwash the pupils?
