[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please don’t criticize me for choosing to be a practicing catholic and raising my kids in the faith.

But, if you are a lapsed catholic, is there anything your parents did or did not do that contributed to you wanting to leave the church? I don’t care about any of the issues with the church. I’m well aware of the issues. But, when it came to family devotions, practices, schooling, etc...do you think your parents did or didn’t do anything that factored into your teen/adult thoughts and choices?[/quote]

Sounds like you're looking for ways to keep your kids Catholic despite all the awful stuff that has happened in the Church.  I doubt that there is a solution to your dilemma, OP, because people think for themselves - even kids - on all sorts of issues, despite childhood activities and what they are taught at home.

Also, consider asking yourself WHY you want to keep them Catholic when so many have left the Church for good reasons?  Your kids can grow up to  be good people without being Catholic.

It might be more convenient for you if everyone in your family were the same religion, but that's not how it works.  People  grow up to make their own choices and to think for themselves.[/quote]
