Intrestin point Silas. As I understand it the catholic church accepted evolution a long time ago. But some catholics seem not to know this. Make of that what you will.

As for who goes to faith schools - loads of English primary schools are C of E and in some parts of the country many are catholic. In areas with falling rolls they will often have anybody's children. In areas with more kids that places they practice selection. That's often why they do well in tests.

Do they "indoctorate"? The teach small children things which most adults don't think are true.

Best wishes at this time of year
