[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Notice how most of these posts (likely from the same person) don’t actually defend Mass on Fridays or attempt to persuade anyone why Friday Mass is a good idea or important for a Catholic education.

Instead, all they do is (a) repeat how “every other school goes to mass weekly,” or (b) scream, “it’s always been like that, so if you don’t like it, leave!”

Sad. But I guess that’s the sort of critical-thinking skills you get when you spend much of k-8 going to mass and assemblies and parties rather than on academics. [/quote]

Unclear why you think anyone is required to persuade you of the value of the school community coming together to for Mass and to share the gifts of grace once per week.

Once again, just more deflection and flimsy responses.  No substantive argument at all.

And nobody has a problem with the community coming together for mass once a week. It’s called Sunday Mass.  Sorry you wouldn’t be able to sleep in. [/quote]

You make no sense, or perhaps have not been well catechized. School Mass does not take the place of Sunday Mass. Sunday Mass is a religious obligation -you don’t get to sub out another day to fulfill the obligation. The people lobbying for and defending school Mass are probably the least likely people to be skipping Sunday Mass. What exactly is the point you are trying to make? You don’t sound as if you actually understand Catholic teaching. [/quote]
