She's one of those "ecumenical" types that has it all wrong - in her lack of faith in the Catholic Church, she espouses universalism in her own way. Which is why only a few of the 50 parish member 2003 HS graduates don't find attending a parish breakfast and Mass for them necessary or even mildly pertinent to their lives. Youth Group was a failure as well - nothing Catholic about it. And as I pointed out to her, the kids can get the same lesson in school or in the local non-Catholic Church that you are giving them. So why bother duplicating the effort?

Cardinal Arinze got it right: "True religion teaches not exclusion, rivalry, tension, conflict or violence, but rather openness, esteem, respect and harmony. At the same time you should keep intact your religious identity, your distinction as a witness of Jesus Christ."

***True religion teaches not exclusion***

YET...

"I am the way, the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father but by Me." -- Jesus

"Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved." -- Peter
