Well to extend that I'm not sure why you can't just leave someone home to take care of the sick and have someone else take the family to mass as well as become -Sorry for my lack of terminology here- one of the people who get qualified to bring communion to the sick.

What a bunch of f***ing crap.

You expect that a family which obviously has people (1) working outside the house, (2) shopping for things like clothes, groceries, etc., (3) children in school, cannot find time to go individually for ONE HOUR between 4 pm Saturday and 8 pm Sunday to go to a Mass somewhere nearby?

You seriously expect us to believe the entire family is homebound with the sick parent 168 hours per week?

Well i was trying to give the guy the benefit of the doubt. ;)Faced with alternatives like i mentioned his weak reasoning becomes even weaker.

Personally if someone is that sick and needs constant attention and can't travel, professional help should probably be looked into. In that case, the family can go to mass, which is probably where I'd be if when I wasn't at his side.
