[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, my kids are in middle school.

Also, re: missing Mass being a mortal sin, I don't remember that in the Bible aside from "Keep holy the Sabbath day," which can be done in a number of ways.

Christ did say "take this, this is my body," but He didn't specify when and how often. While I'm very happy being a practicing Catholic, I also realize that many things we do are man made, and that it doesn't make me a bad Catholic/Christian to see that.

Thank you for all the input! :)[/quote]

As you know if your'e a Catholic -- they don't just go by bible interpretations (which can get pretty muddy, at any rate) they go by very simple and clear rules of the church.

It's a mortal sin to miss  mass - it doesn't matter what your "belief system" is.  You may not feel guilty about it or want to bother your kids too much, but anyone who intentionally breaks the rules of the Church is definitely being a bad Catholic -- though not necessarily a bad person or other kind of Christian.[/quote]
