No, and I already posted that.
Who's passing judgment again?
I'm voicing my opinion, YOU call it judgement, YOU do that alot.
On the other hand, you claim to know what I worry about and what I think. Without asking I might add.
If they're not attending mass, and the expectation of Catholic children is to attend mass, then they are hypocrites for not doing what the - by definition of being Catholic - are to expect of their children.
Yawn. I already have raised the possibilty that people often go to mass at other churches. I myself go to Mass sometimes, but the Pastor at my church doesn't assume I am not keeping the sabbath holy.
It would be sacrilege to assume that God will have abandoned these children because they are not enrolled in First (and maybe Only) Holy Communion.
Who on earth ever said that? Scheesh. Amazing stuff.
Then keep your opinions on our sacraments to yourself. If you're going to lead people astray as to the meaning and application of the Roman Catholic faith, I'll keep you busy with this all day if you want.

Po-tay-to, po-tah-to

No, you've done a good enough job of exhibiting your thought processes without me asking.

If your pastor knew you were studying to enter the deaconate (or something similar) and saw your car parked at a strip bar every night, would he logically conclude that perhaps you won't take your ministry very seriously?
I don't see any of the parents in the article claiming they were at other churches when they weren't at this parish. One can debate whether using the envelope-method is appropriate, but according to the pastor, there's no obligation to actually donate any money, just submit the envelope as proof there was attendance at mass.
