        No, we didn't officially have to, but I got one old spinster teacher who was shocked that we could not recite them, and made us learn while she tutted about the quality of RE teaching these days....

              I have only met one contemporary of mine who could quote the Books of the Bible in Order - not the King James version - whichi ( for reasons I have never understood ) - omitted The Book of Tobias - a profound aspect of the Bible.
              What about The Book of Cyril?
              How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.
