[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am one of the "kids" who strayed as a young adult once I went to college.  I was born Catholic, went to Catholic schools. Once I moved away from home, I never went to church on my own.  I was still expected to attend Mass if I was home visiting, but I never minded because I knew how important it was to my mother. I now have my own family but I have not fully returned to the church.  I've been considering it, but I struggle with a lot of the church's teachings.  That said, I still pray.  I still have faith and very much believe in God, even though I am not "in good standing" with the church. So just because your kids don't go to church on their own doesn't mean they've lost their faith entirely or haven't benefited from a religious upbringing.  They are figuring out a lot about themselves and life in general during the college years, including religion. [/quote]

Let's just hope that people in this frame of mind don't die before returning to the church, because if they do, they will suffer eternally for their sins, according to Catholic beliefs.[/quote]

You are really making the case for why people should to return to the church.   :roll: Your scare tactics won't work, sorry.  You might want to find a more persuasive argument if you truly care about people returning to church, but I suspect you don't. [/quote]
