The child begins instruction at six. At seven she makes her first confession and receives Communion.

Do you ask her, at that age, to assess her mother's and her companion's relationship in juxtaposition to the Church's teachings? And at seven, the child has seen them react to each other as lovers.

How does this child reconcile the teachings against impurity with what she witnesses? How does the mother explain to the child that she does not believe that Church is the arbiter of morality and is wrong in its teachings about purity and fornication? Then, how does the mother continue to send the child to instruction that conflicts with Church teaching.

The child needs to go to a public school. The mother needs to stop using her child as a political pawn. That in itself is a grave issue. Her website is quite enlightening.

BTW, the nuns had no problem at all telling children about ~that mother of yours~ when confronted by varying degrees of bad behavior on the part of parents.

It usually served as a corrective measure.

Will this woman take such correction?
