Put the ordinariate in charge of schools
SIR – The recent news about abuse at two major Catholic schools has been very distressing (Britain, News & analysis, August 17). I did not attend either Ampleforth or Downside but am familiar with their high academic reputation and I have friends from both schools. The possibility that these schools may not survive would be a terrible blow to Catholic education in the United Kingdom.
