SANTO DOMINGO.- In a landmark ruling with the dissent of two of the 17 Justices, the Supreme Court declared in adherence to the Constitution the Concordat between the Vatican and the Dominican State, a resolution approved by Congress on June 16, 1954.

The high Court’s ruling rejects the challenge on constitutional grounds filed by the Jesus is Sanctity and Eternal Life Ministry, et al, on July 11, 2006.

It states that although the State assumes the obligation to teach the Catholic religion and moral education in elementary and secondary public schools, in no way prohibits that education of another religion in their establishments, nor has evidence been contributed that demonstrates that this has been prevented by virtue of the agreed to in the Concordat.

Yes, the Catholic education in our public schools is really bearing fruit, most public students are real choirboys.
