Good, and truthful article about all churchs today, IMO. This is something people need to be shown. I believe the break down of the family is the main reason for childrens lack of knowledge. Instruction about religious beliefs should come first and foremost and with obvious sincerity from parents. Beliefs should be taught and LIVED in the home.

Amen, Becky. God grant us the strength and the grace to come to this wisdom.

...break down of the family is the main reason..

I agree with you. Compounding the problem mightily is the lack of Catholic culture observed in Catholic schools. They are so determined to be inclusive of their non-Catholic students that often the word Catholic is discouraged in favor of the generic Christian. Also, there appears to be little effort to screen teachers for their commitment to upholding Catholic teachings, or, at the very least, to not speaking against Catholic principles.
