I would not have known the Christmas Carols, but for the public school. I certainly didn’t learn them at Mass on Sunday.

It is not the function of any church to teach you how to sing a christmas carol or put on a play. Church is where you go to worship God, as He commanded.

From both your comments, I get the impression there was little discussion of faith at home. Here again, it is YOUR responsibility to learn the faith and transmit it to your children, while bringing them to church on Sunday to worship God.

While neither of you has specified to which church you belong, I believe ALL christian churches follow the Apostles Creed. As such, you may want to begin here. It is the same for ALL christian faiths. To know your faith is truly liberating! It brings great joy and peace.

The article, “How come more people don’t go to church?” cited several reason and I cited two of my own.

God’s removal from public school and the opening of stores on Sunday and the invention of shopping malls.

When I was growing up, department stores were closed. Sunday was a day of worship, a day of rest, a day for family.

You want to take issue with me on and my upbringing and I think you’re way out of line. I think I gave you a very good clue on my religion - St. John’s parish.

Good day, NYer.
