Description

Discusses the cooperative relationship between the Irish government of the 1920s through 1960s and the Catholic Church with regard to education, with the government accepting financial responsibility for the maintenance of schools, while leaving management of those schools up to the Church. Shows how the Church was able to use this arrangement to influence the secondary-school curriculum, ensuring the development of a loyal middle class and the production of priests, brothers, and nuns.
