[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find the part about getting the card signed at a different Mass the most objectionable. I am an adult and can manage my family’s spiritual life. No one needs to take attendance.[/quote]
I think the point of that is for the tuition discount for active Catholic parishioners. You have to show you are meeting that requirement or they aren’t going to allow the discount. [/quote]

There is no reason to be this inflexible. People either are participating in the life of the parish or they aren’t. The kids are in the school and go to Mass once a week and most Catholic families try to go on the weekend when they can. They can look up your donations. I’m not understanding where the check in/checking out with cards “proving” you are a good Catholic came from. It’s like the Arlington diocese priests all got together and concocted this idea. Again, we are at a different parish in the diocese.

They should be taking security of the schools and the mass much more seriously than they are. [/quote]
They aren’t proving you’re a “good Catholic”. There’s basically a checklist of items to indicate if you are *active in your parish* and this is one of them. That’s a thing that can be measured and tracked, and since there is a fairly substantial monetary incentive tied to it, many schools are going to want that confirmation. You don’t have to like it, and if you don’t care about the tuition discount, you don’t have to provide it, either. Your choice. [/quote]
