Jesus said "do not suffer the children unto me..."

Meaning, do not keep them from coming to me...as this priest has done...

No He didn't. Jesus said "Let the LITTLE children be, and do not hinder them from coming to me, for os such is the kingdom of heaven." The word used here refers to infants, not youths.

Anyway, the parents are the ones refusing to allow their children to experience salvation in Christ, since they refuse to take them to Mass. The Priest is not barring the door to them, but asking them to actually attend the Divine Worship.

Infants (being literally those who don't yet speak) probably weren't involved. The only age I recall in the article was seven.

hmmm, so by your words, infants can go to Jesus on thier own volition?

YOu are taking this way to deep...The scriptures are literal, not hidden code to be deciphered.
