[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you didn't feel completely comfortable leaving your child alone in the company of total strangers (who wouldn't...??!), then I would have just not have attended service.

At his age, it would just be too risky to bring him into church setting where there is a sermon being given. Even if he made a sound, crying or not, it would disrupt the ambiance for the other parishioners.[/quote]

Curious if you actually attend church with any regularity.  I'm Protestant, so I have no idea what happens at a Catholic church, but I can think of exactly 0 churches I have ever visited where something like OP's experience would occur.  People who want to are always welcome to bring their babies / kids into the service.  Do you attend a church with a different practice?

OP, to answer your original question: No, I would not have left my young toddler.  Probably not my 4 year old, either, but I would drop off my 8 year old if she wanted to go.  I would definitely say something to the pastor, and depending on the response, I may or may not give the church another try (assuming you liked it otherwise).
