Toledo, Spain, Oct 1, 2008 / 19:07 pm
The Archbishop of Toledo, Cardinal Antonio Canizares, has sent a letter to the administrators, teachers, parents and students of the archdiocese’s Catholic schools instructing them that the controversial course Education for Citizenship cannot be taught in its current form and must be adapted to Church teaching.
To not do so, he said, would be “to violate the character of our own schools, the right of parents to choose the kind of religious and moral formation they want for their children, and the legitimate right they have to exercise conscientious objection, which many have already done. In addition, it is not right to impose a specific moral formation on everyone,” he said.
