I would suggest good moral people of any biblical faith tradition could teach mathematics, science, business, English , foreign languages, etc., including whatever morals content a particular course might legitimately contain. The catecism classes should retain good Catholjc teachers and hopefully there wi be enough of them! The non- Catholjc teachers should be guided in the particular Church teachings that may arise in their classes, so that they can avoid making mistakes out of simple ignorance ( ant competent priest or trained supervisory person should be able to do this pretty well). I can say is that there are a number of supposedly - Catholic teachers who definitely should not be permitted to get anywhere near the children anymore ( unless they seriously commit to “cleaning up their acts”). IMHO. A teacher who claims to be catholic- Christian but who supports and evrn participates actively in the moral degeneracy that ( almost) IS San Francisco these days, needs to be replaced ASAP. A retaining such staff does is teach a cesspool way of life, extreme anti- life attitudes, disrespect for the. I me and church teachings, and quite frankly the open hipocracy of putting such persons in the classrooms teaches that — hipocracy - living a lie- is just fine with the Church because, after all, the Church itself does it to the children every day in school by claiming to uphold moral values while putting open homosexuality- advocates and open abortion advocates in to teach the children. Prayerfully the new arch-bishop will be able to clean house
I agree with you that conservative religious people of any sort would be an improvement over nonbelieving people claiming to be Catholic. In my parish, we have some people, including a deacon, whom any objective person would identify as Protestant, at best. Not that there’s anything wrong with Protestants, as long as they’re deacons in a Protestant church!
However, especially with young students, the fact that someone is a math teacher doesn’t mean he’s not going to be asked faith questions by students. Could a teacher who is a sincere believer in his own non-Catholic or non-Christian faith give answers from a Catholic perspective? One’s religion is not simply a recitation of a few statements, but a comprehensive belief system that affects every subject.
