[Faith-talk] Getting Dragged to Church

[Debby Phillips]

I believe that it is the responsibility of parents to give their 
children the opportunity for learning about the Lord.  In 
Proverbs, I believe, it says, Train a child (Debby's paraphrase: 
Train a child in the right way, and when they get old, they'll 
come back to it.  If I had children, trust me, they'd be going to 
Mass with us every Sunday and CCD, (Catholic Christian 
Development, or Catholic Children Development, not sure.  Lol.  
Basically similar to children's Sunday school, I think.  Not 
growing up Catholic, I'm not sure.  I think it's a souious 
mistake for parents to say, "Well, I'll let my children decide 
later".  On what basis are they to decide? If I had children and 
they chose not to be Christian, at least I'd want them to have 
the knowledge to know what they are choosing to leave.    
Blessings,    Debby
