Catholic bishops furious at plan to close down North schools
Catholic bishops have strongly criticised plans by the British government to close down hundreds of schools in the North.
The bishops claim the move will radically undermine the education system they have built up over many years.
They say the proposals pose a serious threat to the right of parents to choose a Catholic education for their children.
The British government says it will be holding further meetings to discuss the moves where the bishops can raise their concerns.
