I respect and appreciate Catholic schools
SIR – I would like to make my position clear in response to concerns about my views on Catholic schools and gay marriage (Report and comment, January 20). I am a fan of Catholic schools. Both for their high values-based standards and their proud history of serving diverse communities. That is why I supported ending the 50 per cent cap on faith-based admissions for new free schools. It was not helping to reduce segregation but was acting as a barrier to new Catholic schools from opening.
