• W2890462604 abstract "The Catholic Church in Ireland is Patron of over 92% of national primary schools. Inthe context of postmodern, pluralist Irish society, this situation is becoming ever morechallenging, ever more unsustainable and ever more untenable.This thesis examines the implications - both practical and moral - of the multi-faith,multi-cultural and increasingly secular context of Irish society for the CatholicChurch’s control and management of the Irish primary school sector. Drawing on thetheoretical framework of the concept of authenticity, the work proposes a renewedconception of authentic Catholic education for contemporary Ireland.At the outset, the enterprise of Catholic education in Ireland is located in relation tothe social and political environment in which Catholic primary schools developed andthe contemporary cultural and political climate in which they now operate. Then,through an analysis of the literature on Catholic education in general, and the officialdocuments of the Magisterium in particular, the research draws out the commendedprinciples, defining characteristics and philosophical underpinnings of Catholiceducation in the modern world. It attempts to articulate an authentic understanding,for postmodern society, of three key constructs of Catholic education viz. -evangelisation, commitment to the common good and the relationship between faithand culture.In presenting a clear picture of the authentic principles of Catholic education, thethesis ultimately proposes a model of transforming Catholic primary school forcontemporary Irish society. The espoused model is based on a fundamentalexpression of Catholic values but is explored in terms of how the model may interfaceauthentically with crucial socio-cultural issues facing Catholic education in Irelandtoday, particularly in relation to school ethos, admissions policy, curriculum contentand staff appointments.It is argued that the Catholic Church must respond to the challenges of postmodernsociety in ways which serve both the Catholic school community and the wider Irishsociety rather than out of a concern for control or self-preservation. A key conclusionof the work is that the lack of alternative school places, along with Catholiceducation’s fundamental commitment to the common good, make it imperative thatnon-Catholic pupils can secure places in Catholic schools on an equal footing withtheir Catholic neighbours. It is argued that this does not mean abandoning coreCatholic principles but rather is an example of where social context and authenticCatholic school identity actually meet.A further conclusion of the work is that maintaining the status quo in Irish primaryeducation is no longer an option. It is argued that the Catholic Church mustacknowledge the difficulties resulting from its majority control of the primary schoolsystem and must move beyond a rhetoric of plurality of patronage to actively addressthe urgent need for a diversity of school types to serve the needs of a religiously andculturally diverse Irish society.Ultimately, the thesis concludes that the Catholic Church in Ireland must considerradical proposals for changes to its control, management and running of Catholicprimary schools as to neglect to do so would be the very antithesis of authenticity." @default.
