| Summary: | CATHOLIC SCHOOLS IN Scotland have successfully helped to integrate the Catholic community into the social mainstream. But this very success forces them to re-examine their social and political role, especially with the advent of the new Scottish parliament. They are no longer a bastion against discrimination, because discrimination has all but vanished. Neither, in a secular and multi-cultural society, can they find sufficient justification as the main institutional means of maintaining a distinctive way of life. But they could find a coherent social purpose in the contribution they make to social capital and, thereby, to renewing Scottish democracy. |
