[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]

I do not see missing mass as a mortal sin. That is not how I was taught and not how I was raised. I have also heard priests say - in church - that  weekly attendance is a desired goal, not somethign you burn in hell for if you miss. Let's not be pedantic or judgmental. That said,  I do try to go every week I can.  my kids are babies but I bring them when they are not at an age when they are wreaking havoc. I expect to do it like my parents did, expect them to go through confirmation. After that they are adults in the eyes of God.[/quote]
