I'm going to guess that the OP skipped mass one Sunday and the DH is being a jerk about it.  I think you can certainly still be an observant Catholic if you skip mass here and there, but as a rule you should be attending[/quote]

False. Missing mass is a mortal sin. Attending mass on sundays is a core element of being observant. If you're child is of the age to receive communion, you are also obligated to ensure they attend weekly as well. [/quote]

False.  You have no clue if the family had a "serious reason" for missing mass.  And missing mass certainly isn't a mortal sin for a child, given that the child doesn't have control over that situation[/quote]

correct. It's just a mortal sin for the parents if the child misses without a grave reason. Missing for a grave reason is not the same as "here and there." [/quote]

Where performance is more important than being a good Christian![/quote]

Not pp and not Catholic, but since Jesus himself Christians have placed importance on celebrating communally. The idea is that you get spiritual things you wouldn't get on your own.[/quote]
