We met Don Daniele Saottini, Responsible of the National Service for the IRC of the Italian Episcopal Conference (CEI) in his office in Brescia, on an afternoon back from Rome, and asked him a few questions. The National Service for the IRC, as we read on the website https://irc.chiesacattolica.it/, in connection with the General Secretariat, is entrusted with the task of following up issues related to the teaching of the Catholic religion in schools, the promotion of the school discipline in the specific and possible interdisciplinarity, the elaboration of tools and aids for the permanent updating of teachers of religion, the sensitisation of the local Churches on educational issues related to the presence of the IRC in schools as a cultural and educational resource for the same.
