It’s always encouraging to read positive comment on your club, so the positivity from a sports brand consultant at Brand Finance was welcome. Apparently we are something of a commercial miracle, reaching parts no one else from a small country can come close to.
It’s also delightful hearing about glamour preseason friendlies (not quite announced yet, but coming). We are a club with more than just history, we have a team the best in the world want to play. We also have a future.
We have the league championship trophy in the boardroom, Champions League qualifiers to look forward to, and the sun is shining on Glasgow!
These are great times for Celtic.

I respect your opinion. I used to share it, and have discussed it at length with people who also share it now.
But stronglyI disagree though. There’s a flip side to that argument. Why shouldn’t a religious school be tolerated in a secular society? Or is secularism becoming intolerant of religion (speaking as an atheist myself)?
Attending Catholic schooling certainly did not affect my ability to develop friendships with kids who attended different schools. Also, there is usually more than one school in any given urban area – not all kids go to the same school as their friends anyway. I can’t find any logical argument for abolishing Catholic schooling or that of any other denomination. The argument so readily put about in Scotland (I’m not assuming that’s your own !), is absurd. It’s not far off the idea of blaming black ghettos for racism and is as we all know just another symptom of the anti-catholic sentiment which pervades here.

School has been flattened. St Margaret’s now takes in after Primary 7.
St David’s has been merged with the local non Catholic school and new school built on the old football parks on Bruce Street.
I never attended St David’s myself. St Pats. But you probably taught a few of my siblings and maybe even my wife, who left in 64.

the biggest enemy of catholic schools in this country are catholic schools themselves.

One of the teachers I was talking about in an earlier post was Joe Reilly who had a major effect on me and no doubt many others.
I assume you would know him?

Children are not born with any religious beliefs.
The religious schools thing, it’s a tough one. I went to a Catholic school, I’m glad I did and if I had kids (in UK) I think I’d choose a Catholic school for them aswell.
BUT if we can argue for separate schools for Catholics, then by extension we can argue for separate schools for Muslims (maybe even different kinds of Muslims), Jews, Hindus, and all the rest.
And I really really don’t like the idea of a country which divides its children in that way.
If I have kids here in Spain it won’t matter – all state schools are supposed to be lay.

Agree with you Gordon, watched some coverage on local news stations here, Press TV showed footage that even Al Jazeera wouldn’t show because (they said) it was too graphic. They are right, it is.
I’m not going into detail, but it is hugely shocking and totally apalling, putting a few things into perspective for me tonight.
Hail Hail,

Sadly it’s no more – membership dwindled in the mid 2000s. I joined in 97 and went on the bus to Cwmbran Town (my only Euro competition jaunt) and a host of friendlies. Good times.

can you use the email add i used with CRC as i have not recieved the reply you sent today, sorry.
It always makes me chuckle when I hear people pontificate on why ‘Catholic’ schools should be abolished.
A common arguement used is, that children should not be seperated and sent to seperate schools ‘just’ because they are of different religions.
“Oh aye”, says I, when I hear this arguement, “So you don’t think children should go to seperate schools then.”
“No” they automatically reply.
And I then ask the, “So you would agree with the closure of Hutchie and every other private school which splits up children based on their parents ability to pay. Or what about single sex state schools, should we abolish them because we should not split up children based on their sex”.
“No”, they automatically reply.
Googy. Interesting

I don’t understand how that’s an argument. They aren’t born with any inbuilt awareness or education. Science has to be taught. Why should religion not also be part of that education to give children the ability to make their own choices, as I did? It’s maybe worth pointing out that a large part of our religious education was on other religions, particularly Islam (ie. non Chrisitian). It’s not a brain washing exercise as some people in Scotland seem to imagine to their terror.

Horrific stuff for the people in Syria.

There is no dispensation for Catholics. The legislation which exists aloows Catholics, Jews, Muslims, Protestants the same right for state support for schools.
There is NO special rules for Catholics. Just the same rules as any other faith group.
Barcabhoy is one of the posters whom I look out for. A contributor whose postings are intelligent, interesting and informative. Always knowledgable.
I have never met this poster nor know his/ her identity. I’ve read this site for 8 years. My instincts are to trust this person.
The rush to Newco the cheating bastards has gathered pace. Don’t you know the cheating was done by individuals and not the club? Let’s let a newco in with all the “tradition” and forget all the other stuff. Even match fixing if it comes to light. FFS did you see the MSM response to over 60 Huns receiving secondary payments? Apparently Duff & Phelps were involved in Ticketus! Move along Timmy nothing to see here.

England, where I live, has loads of denominational schools, not just Catholic, but they are privately funded (some have government support with the new educational changes over the last few years e.g. academies and college stautus). Many denominational schools still have to fund themselves e.g. Catholic schools usually by the dioceses.
Sorry, but if you mean to give the impression that denominational schools receive no state funding, this is such a distortion of the reality that it cannot be allowed to go uncontested. Denominational schools in England and Wales that are not private schools receive 90% of funding from the government. Dioceses have to fund 10% of capital expenditure. The dioceses, of course, raise most of their money from the Catholic faithful, which is as it should be.
Non-denominational state schools are 100% funded by the government.
Any suggestion that it’s unfair for the government to continue to fund denominational schools is clearly misguided. The Catholic community and others pay more for our schools, that 10% that the government chooses not to provide. In addition to our taxes, the Catholic community provides more than £20 million each year to fund schools. If our children did not go to denominational schools, that money would have to come from government.
Also, according to the Catholic Education Service, 30% of pupils in Catholic schools in England and Wales are from non-Catholic families. So the Catholic community is making a substantial contribution towards the education of these children too, which we are encouraged to regard as a contribution towards the common good of society, and long may it continue.
