	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The School of Armagh
		The School of Armagh seems to have been the oldest, and down to the time of the Anglo-Norman invasion continued to be one of the most celebrated, of the ancient schools of Ireland.
		No doubt the School of Armagh would be primarily a great theological seminary, not only for Patrick's royal city or see, but also for students from all parts of Ireland; for the chief seat of ecclesiastical authority should also be the fountain of sound doctrine for all the land.
		Armagh was burned no less than sixteen times between the years 670 and 1179, and it was plundered nine times, mostly by Danes, during the ninth and tenth centuries.

	Slugger O'Toole: Catholic church planning for drop in school numbers (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Posted by: mnob at June 16, 2005 01:40 PM Daisy I wasnt saying that catholic schools wouldnt educate children of a different faith I was saying that given the chocie they would prefer to only have to teach catholics.
		For the controlled schools, I fear there is not a similar groundswell of opinion in favour of removing selection- all Unionist parties oppose removing selection, and the protestant churches haven't really given great leadership on the matter.
		At our school, Protestant pupils were excused from the Catholic parts of the education (much to the jealousy of many of us it has to be said) and would certainly not have been forced into such acts.
