Summary: | This article presents an analysis of why advocates of RE in English Catholic schools have managed to avoid seriously engaging with confessional Religious Education.

In this time of curriculum change and innovation, an argument is developed in favour of embracing a non-confessional account of RE in Catholic schools. |
