[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would think at least through middle school. After that, I will likely do what my parents did. They gave my sister and me the choice of either going to mass or doing something else each Sunday to learn more about either Catholicism, another religion, or another form of spirituality. If we could articulate a spiritual basis for a service project, that could count too. In the end, I have returned to being a practicing Catholic, but I have participated in activities from a wide range of religions, and have the utmost respect for their believers.[/quote]

I really like this approach. Great way to keep spirituality a part of their lives, while also giving them some autonomy that teens crave.  Interesting that you returned to the fold. I don't have teens yet myself, but I wonder if this is ultimately more successful than simply making teens go.[/quote]

But what if they were to die during that time with the stain of mortal sin on their souls?  Wouldn't you feel somewhat responsible for giving them a pass on attending mass?[/quote]
