[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a dumb thread. It doesn’t matter bc there’s no way for them to enforce it in any event. So who cares what they “expect.”  They can “expect” you to do a lot of things to get the parishioner rate but if they can’t verify it, who cares?? [/quote]

This is the attitude many are against. The Catholic parishes support the families in the parish and to a lesser extent Catholic families outside the parish. The reasons for this are 1) to support the young families in their community, and 2) because the finances for the school and church roll up into the same account. These two reasons (and others may come up with more), are tied together. 
I welcome anyone who will be respectful to Catholic teachings to Catholic schools. Everyone knows there are a subset of people who enroll b/c it is (more) affordable than some secular options.  
I know many people who don’t attend Mass every week, many who don’t attend at all and for the vast majority, I have no idea. I also don’t know who receives parish support nor should I. 
But I don’t understand being comfortable with taking something that doesn’t belong to you.[/quote]

Would you be ok with a non-Catholic  family attending parish mass one Sunday a month or during holidays? Kids attend the parish school as non-parishioners. [/quote]

Again, you wouldn't need to ask this question if you have ever even been to mass because they almost always welcome visitors each and every time. Why don't you see for yourself instead of coming across as an uninformed ignoramus?[/quote]

Well, as a Protestant, perhaps they never have. You could be a bit more welcoming yourself.

And it’s “Mass”.

I'm not going to be pleasant to a contrarian troll or spend a lot of time composing a post. [/quote]

You don’t sound like you went to Catholic school.

You're pretty judgmental, are you sure you're promoting Catholic values here?[/quote]
