[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Sheesh.  Yes, it's hard for me to get two kids to church.  The baby naps till about 10:30, the older one wants lunch around 11, and DH is big law and often working or tracking weekends.
I have a very strong faith and belief in God.  However, I don't believe that regular attendance at Mass is required to maintain that faith.  There are people who go to church every week and don't live a life in the footsteps of Jesus.  I try to be a good person but I admit, it's a struggle for me to get two young children out the door and at a certain place at a certain time.  Especially a place where they have to sit still and be quiet.  But does that mean that my child shouldn't be welcomed into God's family?  Those of you being snarky and rude should perhaps think about the way you live your lives. Going to church does not equal patience, love, and an open heart.[/quote]

The thing is, Catholics have very clear rules about what it means to be a Catholic in good standing and missing mass regularly because its inconvenient does not fit in.

That does not mean you aren't a good person or a good mother, but you're certainly not a good [i]catholic[/i] or a good [i]catholic[/i] mother.[/quote]
