No you miss the point...Jesus had a special place in his heart for children...he didn't say to the kids"You can come to me except those whose parent haven't been going to the yearly passover in Jerusalem regularly!" He said "Let them come to me and forbid them not!"
No exceptions!
Jesus is present in the Eucharist which the parents are denying them by not bringing them to Mass.
Education in the faith is wonderful but Mass is what it is all about.
No exceptions!
The Lord Jesus spoke this of "LITTLE children" - the Greek word "paidia" from "paidion" meaning "INFANTS", not "YOUTHS", since it is the diminutive of "pais" which does mean a young child.
The verse has ZERO applicability to this situation.
