Abstract
Catholic schools have a twofold identity. Partly they are educational institutions which, like all schools, have to initiate children and young people systematically and critically into their cultural heritage. At the same time they are Christian institutions rooted in the Christian message and have to contribute to pupils' religious education. In a multicultural society like the Dutch one this dual identity becomes a dilemma: should other religions (which, after all, are part of the cultural environment) be given a place in Catholic schools and, if so, how? Our question in this article is how Catholic primary school teachers deal with this dilemma. We concentrate, moreover, on a specific aspect of religiouss education, namely ritual education.
