[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH and I were both raised Catholic (attended Mass every Sunday; the works). Our child is baptized Catholic, and we have taken her to Christmas and Easter masses a few times. She is still little - only 3 - but DH and I are starting to think about how much we want to integrate church life into our life. We'd like her to have the cultural and family background of Catholicism, and be grounded in the basic faith, but I don't think we are ready for the crucifixion discussion or any of the other rather gruesome aspects.

Anyone have any suggestions about ways to carefully raise a Catholic child, without necessarily going the Sunday School route?

Thank you[/quote]

Oh lord. I think you are a troll because if you were raised catholic you would know [b]no one is going to whip out a bloody crucifix and shove it in a three year olds face[/b]. You'd also know to reach holy communion "sunday school" (which a catholic would likely call CCD, catechism or if you want to be fancy confraternity of christian doctrine) is required unless they are enrolled in parochial.

I'm a cradle catholic and honestly until I saw The Passion as an adult I never encountered any "rather gruesome aspects".

If this is a serious question you may want to try being an Episcopalian. [/quote]

No one has too -- the bloody crucifix is in the center of the altar for all to see.[/quote]
