I know there have been similar threads recently about communions but I have a query and would be interested in other opinions.
My son started in a COI school this year. The school organises that catholic children stay behind one day a week in first class to prepare for their communion. He has been christened but we are not practising catholics and when the time came for communion I was not going to bother let him make it. I assumed as it was a COI school no one would be bothered either way. However, I have been told that because the school has a christian ethos, he will have to make it, as we have put down he is catholic.
I was just wondering what could the school do if we didn't want him to do it?
