I want to ask Mr. Rowe a question. He spoke as though Catholic education and schooling was the road to the damned. I felt that was the inference of what he had to say. Is he saying that children of no religion or other religions who happen to be in Catholic schools cannot flourish within those schools? Knowledge - the arts, history, geography, music - supercedes what Mr. Rowe suggests is something that would close down children of different religions within the Catholic ethos. I would like him to answer that.
