1. The term 'non-priest' is poorly chosen.
   We used to call our separated Christians 'non-Catholic', and this has been dropped also.
   By baptism we - Christ's faithful - are all 'priests, prophets and kings', so let's swap this gauche phrase for the more commonly understood term 'lay'.
   Congratulations to the incoming Principal.

2. This appointments mirrors what has been happening in Religious Order owned schools for many years now.
   Men and women who enter Religious Life offer themselves for to the service of the Church according to the charism and ministries of their Order.
   While many have become teachers, they are not necessarily suited (or wanting) to be a Principal.
   This is particularly true for those men who enter the Priesthood.
   Theirs is generally a Sacramental and Pastoral vision.
   Mr Finn and his fellow principals are to be thanked for their leadership.
