As a non-Catholic how do I say that I support the Catholic ethos to work in a Catholic School?

Central to the Catholic ethos is the presence of the risen Christ at the heart of the school community. I cannot agree more with this tenet; if a school is to be successful at guiding children's religious, social, and academic growth, this must be made a reality. Although I am not Catholic, I am Christian, and I have great respect for the Catholic Church. As a teacher at School Name, I would strive to be a living example of the Christian faith. I agree wholeheartedly with the vast majority of Catholic doctrine, and I certainly support the teaching of it. If the situation were ever to arise wherein a student asked me a question I felt uncomfortable answering, I would have no difficulty referring that student to his or her religion teacher. Ultimately, however, the Catholic ethos is more than a doctrine, it is a way of life, and as such, I feel I would be an excellent match for your school.

I am methodist and attended a catholic high school. Surprisingly, many of my peers were also non catholic, so I fit in well. They did require me to take a religion class each year, in which catholic view points were taught and tested on. Although I had never been exposed to catholicism previously, I did very well in my religion classes. My parents encouraged me to discuss doctrines I was taught that conflicted with methodist doctrines with them at home, eliminating any confusion I felt. As you mentioned, the student to teacher ratio was much better than public schools, and I was able to receive much more one on one help than I ever did in public school. Overall, I would say the benefits definitely outweighed the drawbacks.

Being honest with you, I cannot see any reason for thinking that a Protestant supports the Catholic ethos.

Protestant means " protesting against the Catholic ethos and dogma".

In other words either you are a Protestant Christian, or you are a Catholic.

Sorry!

Please don't if you don't.

We need teachers in our schools who will be able to answer Catholic questions, and support the Catholic faith to the children.

There have been Catholic teens on here who have posted questions because they are confused by something their teacher said. Often it is flawed Catholic doctrine that a teacher is telling kids, and this causes a great deal of confusion and bad Catholic practice.

If you are going to say you support our beliefs, then that needs to be the truth. Lying about something to get a job is never the right foot to start out on.

Read up on Catholic beliefs, maybe you do agree with them. If you do get the job, make sure you do not teach your Protestant understanding of Christ, salvation, the sacraments etc. to Catholic children. Even though you won't be teaching religion, teaching in a religious school requires that you'll be able to support the religious doctrine of that school, so you'll need to know what it is.

ADDED: To browncornfish - it is NOT discrimination for a privately funded religious school to not hire someone who does to agree with their beliefs. When my kids were younger I went to sign them up to go to a fundamentalist Christian school and they wanted me to sign a paper saying I believed the Bible to be the sole source of spiritual authority...I didn't believe that, couldn't sign it and my kids could not go there.

People who plan their weekly meals tend to be more successful at losing weight than those who don’t. Plan your dishes to add healthy carbs such as sweet potato and wholegrain pasta, green vegetables and lean proteins, buy all the ingredients in advance and don’t be tempted to nibble on out or order in.

Use spray oil instead of pouring. One squirt contains one calorie compared to 120 calories from the tablespoon. If you use oil within your cooking daily, this small change could lose that you simply stone over the year.
