I teach 9th grade religious education at my Catholic parish. Most my students do not go to weekly Sunday Mass because their parents do not bring them.

I talk about the readings from Scripture from Sunday Mass or the sermon and I get blank stares.

I agree with the priest on this one.

If the parents can not take their children to Mass to hear Scripture read and hear the sermon, and expect to "pushed through the system" like a public school to obtain the Sacraments, they should think again.

That lack of parental involvement in Catholic education and participating in the Sacraments have already turned out a few generations of poorly formed Catholics.

[It's me]

I agree with you.
